Message	I finally got my Ramey studs installed and the timing belt is back on. However, I had a simple question: I know that I am supposed to rotate the engine a few times in both directions to make sure the gap is around 4mm or so on the tensioner. My simple question: once you rotate the engine once or twice, will the marks on the belt align again if you go back to where you started (just 1 revolution fwd then back) or will they not line up anymore? The only problem I'd see is that if you rotated it while it was a little too loose, you may not have the right number of teeth between marks?
