I've just installed a new Timing Belt on a new (to me) Rabbit. Upon turning
the Engine over by hand a few turns the Belt tracks on the outside edge of
the Injection Pump Sprocket. I've turned it over a number of times and it
seems to stop at the outside edge and move no further.
My question is, if the Belt walks on the Sprocket, can it stop and track on
the sprocket or is the tendency to keep moving towards one side or the
other, do the edges on the Intermediate Shaft Pulley and the Tensioned keep
it tracking and if so will this cause any problems?
I took the IP bracket to a machine shop to press in a new Mount in order to
save time, I now wish I'd have taken the time to do it myself.
