So, I went to put on my new timing belt today and... it won't fit. No matter what I did with the tensioner, the belt stayed loose.

I sat down to get my facts together for a polite email to RockAuto asking them to correct the problem. These are the facts:

Fact 1: I have a belt that came off the Rocky: it fit, and has 93 teeth.
Fact 2: The belt I received has 95 teeth.
Fact 3: All the belts that RockAuto sells for the Rocky have 95 teeth (if specified at all)
Fact 4: The Daihatsu Charade came with a 1.3 liter engine, which (according to RockAuto) takes a 93 tooth timing belt.

Conclusion: Somebody either put a straight-up Charade engine in this thing, or some strange hybrid. RockAuto cannot fix that for me. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
