I mean timing belt not water pump, what's the best way to get proper tension if the method I stated in the first post didn't work?

as you may have read in my previous post I did my water pump today. I put tension on as was in the instructions, however this made the belt sing like a birdy and wear on the outside. Should I be lining the pointer to pointer on the tensioner. I am getting too much tension the way rthe instructions s...

Is there a particular time that belt last before needing tossed? Tha...
