I was putting my motor together. And it seemed that I couldn't get enough tesion on the timing belt. I put another (used) belt on, and it was much tighter. I checked the cam centerline and with the different belt. The cams were 7 degrees advanced (before adjusting).
Can timing belts stretch that much? Or did I make a mistake when I put them in last time?

Hi Art,
My experience with timing belts is that the correct belt will not stretch that much.
I always try to use Gates brand timing belts whenever I can.
As a matter of fact, Gates has a line of racing timing belts and they do make one for your race car under part number T245RB.
