    Thanks guys, I'll try matching up the marks and count the # of teeth. Hopefully it will match up. The belt I have does have the direction arrows.

    I have the VX front pulled apart in the garage and was hoping to get this done tonight after work. If I order a new belt, it will delay me till next week but I would rather do it right than rush it.

    Jon,

    I haven't done the timing belt switch yet, but it is on my list of things to do for sure. I've read through Bart's How-to and it looks like you could use an extra set of hands during a few key steps. I will happily volunteer my hands if you can/ want to wait until Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday sometime to do the belt swap. It'll also give me an opportunity for a "dry run" before I have to do mine.

    Let me know and I'll head on over....
