Engine timing belt replacement
If the crankshaft indicator is lined up with its mark then is it always at top dead center compression stroke for cylinder 1?

Re: Engine timing belt replacement
Top dead center is top dead center, its the cams position that decides if its the exhaust or compression stroke. Just align the marks on the crank and both cams and you will be fine.

Re: Engine timing belt replacement
I hope you don't mind a slight hijack but I'm in the same boat and I have some questions on this same exact topic.
Please refer to the pics of the two camshafts and notice that only two out of the three marks are lined up. The mark on the back cover and the mark on the timing belt line up. FSM shows three marks have to line up: on the belt, on the camshaft pulley and on the back cover. For the life of me I can't get all three to line up, only two marks line up for each camshaft. What am I doing wrong, if anything? left camshaft right camshaft

You can download the service manual for the car below, in my signature. Open the .pdf that reads 3.3 engine, and it will give you more info on the matter. |

Re: Engine timing belt replacement
ok, will do.
I'll reinstall everything per FSM, with the arrows on the camshaft pulleys pointing up and all the belt lines lined up. Thanks.
