The timing belt on my 93 2.2L 4 cyl Shadow failed and I am in the process of replacing it. Before I go any farther, though, I wanted to make sure that there won't be any possible damage (bending) to the valves if the crank shaft was able to turn while the valves were in place. I know some cars with overhead valves have negative clearance between a piston at top dead center and an open valve. Do the 93 4cyl Shadows have this as well?
So, if the answer to that is no, then my next question would be the marks on the crank's timing belt pulley and the cam shaft pulley - what are they and how should they be aligned for proper timing? I have the haynes manual, but the info in it is very poor in this regard.
Thanks!
