Hey Guys I've been a Lurker for a while. Lol! this will be my first post.

So, I've got a 1992 Civic. Technician A changed my timing belt.
When I'm rev-ing, I noticed that It's making this whining noise from the timing belt area. The next day, I took to Technician B to ask his opinion. He say that they tighten the belt too much.

The next morning, I took it back to Tech A, and he told me that it sounds normal to him. He also told me that it is making the whining sound because the timing belt is new and the noise will be gone once the timing belt stretches.

Would a too tight timing belt harm my motor? What's your take about this?

Thanks Guys!
