It seems like the belt is 1/8th too small, but the dayco numbers match up... any tips on how to get this belt on there? it's a real sob

 

got it to fit, I guess setting it on the cam sprockets only half way back allows enough room. Heads up for future people that want to endevor this journey into chrylser's hell labyrinth, "PT Cruiser"

FYI i'm changing the timing belt do to a bad water pump. I've had to drop the engine to fix the water pump. Not fun.
