New set of timing belts and using my snazzy new alignment tools to lock the cams on my old 2011 796 -they really beat the heck out of the paint dots. The valve lash measurements all still looked excellent so it'll be ready for next year!

Oh yeah, Those belts were so loose and beat. It felt like the first set of belts I did and they just slid off the cam gears without loosening the tensioner and the Engine had lost some low end power. I left a little early for work and took the long way, it felt really good ripping it up some on the old girl!
