Timing chain on 93 Honda Accord

 Thank you for your quick response, so if the crankshaft pulley is off by
one tooth from the cylinder head cover would the whole timing belt need to
be taken off and then replaced. I ask because my car is at the shop and I
was told that it will be $320 to fix it. I just do not want to have any
doubts. When I talked to the guy that worked on my car he said that the
tensioner spring was not working, it was loose so he just tightend it.
Could the tensioner spring be replaced?

 I was told that the tensioner spring was not good and it was not replaced
but that the bolt was tightend I'm guessing that it was tightened to what
the guy thought it should be at and then tightened the bolt. The only
difference I noticed in the car was that it was the engine was slightly
louder and the car was running different, not better.

A bad tensioner spring will result in insufficient belt tension, that is, a
loose belt.

If the belt is too tight, you'll get a whirring or moaning noise from the
engine, which will get louder as you rev it. A overtightened belt is a sign
of inept installation, not a spring problem.

You very desperately need to, very quickly, go to a DIFFERENT garage and
get this rectified.

And I sure hope the "mechanic" you used replaced your balancer belt as
well.

Don't drive this car any more than necessary until this problem is fixed.
