Tensioner pulley bearing?

"was I supposed to use locktite?"

This would be a good application for it! The bolt; new from the factory, is micro encapsulatd with thread locker.

"I have a new tensioner, spring, and damper in there too"

Assuming the washer behind the tensioner has been installed. Is the tensioner pulley new also? When looking from straight above does it appear straight and in line with the other pulleys? If the tensioner pulley bearing is failing the pulley itself will run cockeyed and because of the induced angle the belt will be constantly tying to "run off" the pulley.
