So i swapped this ca18det into my s13 and i just got it running and the only problem is that the timing belt is rubbing on the timing belt cover. I have adjusted the belt countless times and putting it very far back on the pulleys and tensioners but for some reason after about a min of it running, it suddenly would rub against the timing belt cover again i don't really know what i have been doing wrong. The belt is brand new. Please help me as i have been waiting to drive this car for so long but i still can't because this problem is holding me back!

which part of the timing belt...crank or cam pulley area??? for the crank, usually they have a thin methal plate you put on after the installed the timing belt and before you put back the cover. its like a flast washer that sits between crank shaft gear and the cover.
