Hello Fred,
It's been discovered that, with the flywheel/drive plate pin inserted on a correctly timed engine, the rear sprocket marks don't quite align. This isn't a fault and it isn't covered by the workshop manuals.
So, to remove the rear sprockets with their belt, it is first necessary to remove the flywheel/drive plate pin and turn the engine very slightly until the rear sprocket marks align.
I thought that you'd like to know that otherwise you'll think it's impossible to time your engine correctly.
By the way Fred, how did you come to the conclusion that the front belt is too long?
Simon
