Timing Belt Question
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8325/tbelt.jpg"></center><p>Once the belt is off does it matter if the sprocket I have circled in red moves? I know the other two can't move.

doesn't matter at all....move it all you want
However, make sure there's no slack between that gear and the cam gear or between that gear and the crank gear. Leave all the slack between the crank and the cam on "the left" so the tensioner will deal with it.

Yep. You actually take it off if you want to remove the WP impeller.
I took it right off. No need to worry about alignment.

please keep it in "phase" though not related to timing this "balance shaft" is part of the rotating
assembly and should remain in phase. The entire rotating assembly is balanced together.

by marking its position in relation to the block so that you can line it back up when you put the
belt of the cog and shafy itself back on/in. It really is not a great idea to "just spin it if you want"
