on the M20 engines is there one type of timing belt that has 127 teeth, or can you get a bigger one. Only asking because when i had put changed the belt on my 2.5 cab it was hard to put it on but on my old 2.0 the belt went on very easy.

When I changed mine on my 325 is was pretty tight but that was more to do with Not being able to get enough purchase on the tensioner.

I had put a new tensioner but it was still to tight to put on the belt, i had a vernior pully on it and it had eaten the teath on it, but my old 320 was very easy with an old tensioner.
