weird noise after timing belt changed Options

[monky32]

so i got my car back after my mechanic changed the timing belt but now i can hear this weird noise when the rpm's increase say when i push my gas pedal. It is a high pitched sound. actually my 5fse engine sounds like it had 200 horse power now . Well guys any ideas about what could be wrong? maybe an overtighten belt. I know i should take my car back to my mechanic but i just want some opinions so if he lies to me and try to make some more on me saying..... ohhhh well this is wrong is gonna cost you now this much..i can reply with an intelligent answer. To be honest a just expended 450 dollars on this timing belt job and don't wanna expend more.

Thanks guys in advance.

This is definately a Belt Tensioner problem. I took my car to the shop after my Timing Belt broke loose (luckily there is no head damage) and I had the SAME problem after they changed it! I had my boi look at it since he is an auto mechanic and he said without a doubt the Belt Tensioner is bad. I jsut kept driving it. I plan on changing it soon but I'm too lazy and always buying aftermarket stuff instead of technical parts.
