You guys think the belt could have stretched that much?



Its a spare used motor that probably has a bhg, the belt itself looks fine no tears/cuts.
It looks like it was installed that way, but who does 4-5 hours of work to not line up the pulleys
or could it even be some "genius" way to degree the stock cams.

Pull the #1 spark plug and take a long thin screwdriver and place it on top of the #1 cylinder,take a 7/8 socket put it on the crank bolt and turn watching the screwdriver either rise or fall when the crank is turned set the crank at zero when you confirm that your not 180 degrees out and reset the timming on the cams.

Cylinder 1 is at TDC, I found it looks alot better when the crank is at 0 then the cams seem less off, but its off a tooth maybe a little more. I will be replacing it all anyways I think I can do a little better.
