[urq] RE : She runs! No more cut out!

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Good ! I'll try this.

But you didn't answer my "philosophical" question : what is the effect
of a t-belt that is 1 teeth off ?

In fact, we should experiment this ourselves... on a disposable engine
of course ! 
So, the next urq owner that goes the engine swap route has a task:
install the t-belt 1 teeth off in both directions and test drive the
car. Then, we'll have a wiki tidbit to add to the knowledge base and
answer this question for good...
