Re: Setting up the Timing Belt & Distributor

If it was me, I'd take the timing cover off, and take the crank pulley off. Remove timing belt. Then make sure the alignment mark on the crank sprocket is aligned so that it points centerline up to the cam pulley. There should be an indent on the face of the crank sprocket. The cam sprocket alignment mark needs to point up also right at the valve cover mark. Then put the timing belt back on and doublecheck alignment marks. Then put it all back together. It is worth spending the extra time to MAKE SURE the timing marks are aligned correctly this way. With everything in the way you could be a couple teeth off and not know it.

just my 2 cents [cut and paste disclaimer here]
