Has anyone here set their timing belt without help from anyone else?

You are using a tensior tool right? You really need the procedure in front of you if you don't have that.


Actually isn't it the other way around? I have to turn the exhaust camshaft counter-clockwise to line it up with the intake, and when i let go of it, it turns clockwise. At least thats the way mine is. I do have the tensioner tool though, yes. But if you use 2 vice grips to hold the top of each camshaft while you have the belt positioned where you want, it works everytime. Idunno, let me know what you think, maybe I'm mixed up.
