Message	Checked and tested them together and one a time to make sure they are functioning. Timing was checked. Tore the front covers all the way off so I could see the whole belt and reference points. Counted teeth, everything was good. Marks on the gears lined up with where they should as well as a quick reference point. Nothing was out of place. >
