    Whats up guys?
    If you are putting on a timing belt on a 02 wrx and you line up all your timing hash marks (with the belt installed) but the amount of teeth from hash mark to hash does not equal the spec. Does that mean that the timing belt could be stretched?:wavey:

    One question? Why would you reuse a timing belt to begin with? If you are changing it then you should get a new one. Also from experience a timing belt is hard to stretch unless some damage has been done to it.

    I am speaking from DSM experience but I do know that if you have one of the cams on the DSM 180' backwards the timing hash marks would be off. Something to check and make sure of.
