Is there a way to adjust how the timing belt sits on the related sprockets? In the past, my belt has always been oriented such that its passenger-side edge was at the passenger-side edge of the camshaft sprocket. I recently did a 2.0L ABA shortblock swap (keeping my '86 GLI head), and now the belt rides closer to the driver's side of the cam sprocket. Not really that big of a deal, but the driver's side edge of the belt is *just* coming in contact with the lower belt cover (the metal one), and has rounded it off a little, at about a 45 deg. angle.
Will things just work themselves out? I'm pretty concerned, as this motor was not cheap. BTW, I noticed the 2.0L belt was narrower than the 1.8L version I had previously installed. Also, the 2.0L tensioner pulley won't work on the 1.8L head, as 1.8L stud diameter is too large.
