Newer ones have chains. That's an '89 325is. Not just a belt, but conveniently enough an interference engine as well, so waiting until it breaks isn't a great plan.
The angle of your picture makes the balancer shaft pulley look like its not a concentric pulley...

I actually tried to figure out how the hell that would work... Then I saw it was perspective issues :)

Once you do it, the next few times are much much faster I've found
 
Great picture Adler. I went skating today too. B18 the only FAA certified rink in US :D

That's a cool shot.

(Just as a general note, I personally wouldn't recommend attaching anything to a Part 135 flight.)
 
For my 1000th hour I had my student sign my logbook, he wanted to put something with his cert # so I told him to write his qualifications. If every student was like him we would need half of the CFIs that we have, I wish all students were like him.

I should also note that he was determined to be my 1,000th hour and made the comment back in the summer when I was hovering around 750. We flew our butts off last week so that the 1,000th could come at a time that fit both of our schedules. There is a thread in member announcements about it, but his wife organized a few friends to be in the hangar when we got back and she got me a cookie cake too.
 
Ya thats hangar 7. Pretty cool old hangar.

If I recall correctly, that hangar has some "dead space" in between the 4 hangar bays that isn't obviously accessible. When I was a line guy there, me and a buddy got into that area between the bays and found a bunch of old artifacts from who-knows-when. Memorably, there was some sort of power unit that was labeled "Convair Astronautics".

I don't know what your facilities look like, but I always loved the history of those old hangars. They're certainly infinitely cooler than that old shed that AMF now occupies at HWD.
