there is a marking on the engine block for where the crank pulley needs to be, and the camshaft should have a marking on it that should be at 90 degrees to the top of the engine. t
Hi! I'm changing the timing belt on my Civic (130 000K) over the weekend and I was wondering if someone had a tip on how to maintained the timing on the "CAMS" Thanks! Blackhill.
Get yourself some nail polish in a bright color. Before removing the old belt, mark the belt, and a crankshaft and cam sprocket tooth with the nail polish. Lay the old belt on the new one and transfer the marks, then line the new belt's marks up with those on the sprockets.
If you don't have a female to cadge nail polish from and don't feel comfortable buying it yourself, you can always use Wite-Out, available at any office supply store.
