Thread: Calculating timing belt lengths

Calculating the exact centres is never possible because belts may wear and/or stretch (particularly in hot environments) and I've often found that even brand-new belt sizes can vary between different manufacturers and materials. The longer the belt, the bigger the difference can be unless you're paying premium prices for matched sets. This is why adjusters were invented.
