That's why I told him to check for the timming gear marks because the previous owner of my car had his "mech" change the TB and all drive belts, and as I stated it was off by a tooth. He ended up advancing timing so it wouldn't be easily detected(forgot how exactly, it's been a while back), but I fixed it the right way. The easiest way to check is to just remove the gear covers, I could do it through the peek holes, but it's a pita, best just to be 100% sure.
