Thanks, man...
I need to go through and clean it up a little bit, but I figured I'd leave it out there if some people needed it before then. I also have it linked in the faq thread that TTakes2 started.

One suggestion that I havent seen anyone here make yet >>
and I havent done the belt on a TT yet but I'm an old hand at timing belts in general.
Once you get the mark lined up on the cam sprocket, clamp it in place with a spring clamp (looks like a big clothspin). ie..Clamp the belt to the sprocket so that the mark can't move a tooth or two while you're working the belt onto the other parts.
Its just a simple little trick, but it makes the next steps go a LOT smoother.

No, it won't.
It can be off just a tooth or two, and you'll get the sluggish behavior he's describing. If it's really far off, you'll get a code, and any more than that, your engine will send you a personal message. He's right to check the timing marks.
