timing belt just replaced on 93 civic LX HELP PLEASE

i just had my timing belt and water pump replaced on my 93 civic LX at 90,000 kms (about 60,000 mi)... ever since i had it replaced, i've noticed that when i give it gas when its high in a gear, it roars pretty loud...

is this due to it being a new timing belt? or did my mechanic fuck up?

any help appreciated!!!

How is the car running? Is it idling properly and have power?. What type of roar is it? Is it coming from the engine compartment, or is it a roar from the exhaust? If it is coming from the engine, I would say it maybe coming from the timing belt, and or tensioner (if the noise wasn't there before.) Did he just change the belt or did he use a timing kit which would include the timing belt(s), tensioner(s), and/or tensioner pulley(s)?

it seems that it is idling a little high cause everytime i put it into reverse, it grinds a little... but thats always been the case... it sounds like its a roar from the engine i thought it might have been the exhaust but my boy told me it wasn't...

power is good... seems to be a little more pull... its a kind of roar that when i really put my foot down, it sounds like a mustang or something haha... but no loss of power for sure...

about the job, i think it was just the timing belt replaced... i check the invoice and it just said the parts were timing belt and water pump...

thanks for your help... maybe this info will help you a little more..

Chances are your timing belt is too tight and what you hear is the tensioner......check it fast......
