Somehow I read that as meaning you will not be doing that?

How much looser is it than before? How far can you twist it at midpoint? 45%? 90%? 180%? More?
Not sure about your logic on this. Here's why: To "jump a tooth," doesn't the belt have to jump over about half the teeth on the sprocket at once? (It is always wrapped around half the sprocket.) That would be a very loose belt. Unless its missing a bunch of teeth in a long section of it. And more importantly, according to your photo, if the belt jumped the teeth on the sprocket, the IP sprocket mark would be on the other side of the IP and bracket marks, because of the engine rotation direction.

What do you think?

Guess that means my next question is, do you know how to do that? (Time the IP, that is.)
