[Shotimes] Hope i put this belt on right...

[Zach Leahy]

I am going to guess that you would need to use the 3.2 mark since you
are using the 3.2 oil pump housing.... but I don't think that is
right.

On the one I have built, I used a 3.0 oil pump, and the marks all
lined up nicely.  If you still have the 3.0 housing, then you should
look at where the mark is.  I have not worked too much on ATX sho's so
I am somewhat unfamiliar with the housing.  Since you have the 3.0
tensioner setup, I thik you also need the 3.0 belt setup.  It may be a
matter of looking at where the mark on the 3.0 housing is, and then
the 3.2 housing, and making an adjustment.  I didn't even realize the
marks were in different locations, but I guess that makes sense.  I
would work off of the 3.0 housing to set the timing for a 3.0, becasue
that is essentaiily the engine you have, just with bigger pistons.
