Message	When I installed my oem timing belt the first time, it made a strange noise. It turns out that I'd over-tensioned the auto tensioner. My upper idler pulley also wore out in 100 miles. My Power Enterprise belt has been fairly quiet, however I made sure to install my auto tensioner with the proper tension. After tightening down the tensioner, the gap will close slowly over 5-10 minutes. You have to measure the gap after letting it settle.
