New honda owner!!!!
Well, I invested in my first Honda last week as a daily driver and she needs a little TLC. It's a 92' SI Hatch 
!
Anyway, I need to adjust the timing belt but i'm not sure exactly what to do. I'm firmiliar with the engine a little on the outside as I already had to change the water pump
. I believe the timing belt is a little loose because as I put load on the engine, the timing belt (coming DOWN off the cam pulley) is flapping around slightly... Enough to where it hits the motor mount, which I believe will eventually wear the belt down. Is there like a belt tensioner for the timing belt I missed somewhere? Or is the timing belt just too big?
Any input would be appreciated..

1. slide the belt on
2. rotate the CRANKshaft with a socket wrench counterclockwise for a distance of 3 teeth on the CAMshaft pulley. (this is what applies tension to the belt)
3. tighten the belt tensioner bolt.
