1993 240 B230 Cannot align marks on the belt with marks on the pulleys. Start at crankshaft pulley, double line in groove exactly aligns with engine mark and notch. Single line on intermediate pully - pully is very slightly off (counterclockwise of the timing cover mark. Single line on camshaft pulley ends up one notch counterclockwise of the mark on pully and timing belt cover. It appears that when I removed the old belt it also was one notch off to the left when all else was aligned properly.

Will the engine run properly with this situation? The timing marks on all three pulleys line up well with the engine marks.

I have done at least ten belts on B21 and B23 engines. This is the first time on a B230.
