Message	I was worried that I had done my timing belt install incorrectly when I was building up the motor. I had replaced the CAS a little while back and when replacing it, the belt seemed a bit loose between the cams. Yesterday, I finally got the courage to take everything apart and found that the tensioner has about 4mm gap, and got lucky with the timing belt lines being close to the cam marks and all 4 lines are exactly 3 cogs off the cam marks meaning that nothing jumped. Set everything to TDC as well and my crank + cams are spot on. 1993 TT. R.I.P. 09.15.2010
