Belt is routed incorrectly. Needs to come off the water pump, then to the tensionr, not off the crank pulley.

You need to route the belt around the crank and water pump just like in this pic.

Yep, Like AK said its improper belt routing. Also why is your tensioner pointing up towards the 1:00 psoition?? It should be closer to 3:00.

Call Joe, he will walk you thru installation, He did for me.

Looks like your problem has been solved. It definitely looks like its routed wrong.

that tensioner can also be set differently by holes in that aluminum spacer....that will bring it to the correct position also

The tensioner assembly mounts to a bracket, there is a pin on one and a hole on the other. There are two holes, I would venture to guess the original poster has his in the upper hole causing the tensioner to sit that way, remove the bolt that holds the tensioner in place and check the location of the pin. If there is two holes move it to the hole to the right.
