Can this be adjusted with the covers and everything on the car?I just got everything back together and the tensioner side is tight but the back side has a little slack in it.Thanks again everyone :)

The tensioner can be tightened by tightening the bolt with the 12mm head that goes through its center. It sticks out through the timing belt cover.

A little slack on one side of the timing belt is normal. The tensioner doesn't exert much force on the belt. It doesn't have to since it is a cog belt.
