    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.

    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.
