A thought on shaving blocks / heads and the t-belt.....
The Cometic gaskets are a slight hair thinner than the stock gaskets from what I can tell but I can't imagine that the metal gasket would compress near as much as the stock gasket.
If the block and the heads have been shaved .012 the metal gaskets very well might compress that much less than the stock gaskets and even things out...???
I double checked my timing and tension and everything seems good. I did put on a new tensioner.
