Does this look like the timing belt was one notch off?
My wife took her 2005 WRX for a service at a Subaru dealer.
When it came back there was a misfire and the fault meter showed P0301.
Took it back to the dealer who connected it up to his diagnostic machine and couldn't find a fault.
Took it to a local garage who, after I'd told them about the belt change, took off the timing belt covers and announced the belt was one notch off. Attached is the picture they took.
Do you think it shows the belt as being one notch off?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Do the marks line up as they should

you would need to look 'head on' to know for sure but it would appear to be correct, you would also need to see the crank and LH pulleys to confirm......

from those pics again it appears to be correct, there is normally a slight discrepancy on the Pass bank but they have decided to align those pulleys and so it appears to have a minor difference on the central crank and Drivers side pulleys.....

its not aligned on the crank when you look at all photos and without seeing it in person it 'looks good' ??
regardless even if its 1x tooth out its not your misfire cause IMO........
