Hi everyone,
I am doing my first timing belt swap on my sister's junk (she considers it junk, I obviously do not) 2.2L Impreza. I know this is an "Outback" forum, but since I plan on doing this on my Outback soon - I think practice counts. Anyway - I'm hoping you very knowledgeable Subbie folks out there will provide me with a sanity check before I release the tensioner and spin my crankshaft a couple of times and reassemble. Does it look like I'm on in terms of timing marks and belt placement? I think I'm good on the passenger cam and crank, but I am nervous I'm off a tooth on my driver's cam. It seems like the mark on my belt on the DS cam doesn't align with a groove on the pulley, so it could go either way and I'm worried I went the wrong way.
For those curious, this car had the toothed idler bust, and I'm sure timing skipped at least a tooth or two but it somehow managed not to break the belt or get too far off that I'm hoping there's no valve damage, and if it runs, I may get to inherit this car for my time.
Thanks in advance! Pics of my timing marks setup:
