K So I changed the timing belt today and have a couple questions Options

[xxgetbackupxx]

K so after I was done and started up the car the timing belt moved left (passenger side) from the center of both cogs. I freaked out thinking it was gonna fall off but held. It is off the sproket and cam just a little bit but holding on. Why is this happening? Even when I move it back a few times it keeps going to that spot. Also I don`t have the little metal piece in front of the timing belt cause the old one got damaged. kinda looks like my belt is vibrating a little, but the car runs fine no ruff idle nor misfiring or anything at all, runs like it always has. Maybe I`m overthinking it all? Advice would help thanks d=-)

You need that timing belt metal retainer that sits on the crankshaft in front of the belt. It is a guarantee that your belt will track off at high rpms and if it slips off the crank say goodbye to most of your engine parts considering how it will lodge itself to whatever catches it. They made it for a reason and that's to prevent the belt from slipping off!
