While replacing the water pump on B230 I noticed that the cam gear's mark is 1/2 tooth late. Can the timing belt being old (stretched) cause this? I readjusted the tensioner and turned the motor over- still off.
 
Yes, stretched belt and/or shaved head. I also seem to remember some gears had marks in wrong spot? Someone with a better memory than me will chime in
 
Probably just time to replace it. Last time I did it everything was right on the marks, so it's not the head.
