Thanks guys I'm not sure who Brian is, but that's not. It's my friend Shawn's 1989 build date AWD. 118k on it, looks pretty beaten from sitting for too long but runs like a top.

As for my timing belt, tension is perfect. Adjusted correctly, the pin can slide right back into the tensioner. All the timing components (except belt of course) have about 25-30k from my old 94 which did not have the belt riding towards the block. Everything appears correct, it's just the way it sits. Everything is tight. It doesn't rub on anything or walk around, so I'm not sure what really is causing it to be off to the left side.

Should make it to the Shootout, if the car doesn't I still will
