My Belt is rubbing on itself on the bottom of the tensioner pully and up top near the water pump. why is this? belt is new, do i need a smaller belt? the tensioner has a lot of tension on it, i mean its pulling it down so hard its rubbing and the belt seems to be tight all the way around.
i have all pullys except for smog pump.

You either have it routed the wrong way or the belt is too short
