    CRX timing belt qeustions


    I am replacing my timing belt on my 91 CRX dx
    the main crank pulley has a few notches... one that has a red line between
    two other lines... and a separate single line on the pulley part that is
    closest to the engine.. there is an outer ring that hold the belt for the
    AC.. which marking do I line up to... the Cam is already in the correct
    position
    thank you in advance

    Use the single white line which indicates top dead center. This should line
    up with a pointer on the lower timing belt cover.

    The red line surrounded by the two other lines likely indicates 18° +/- 2°
    before top dead center and is used when setting the ignition timing with a
    timing light.

    I would also suggest a factory service manual as an excellent source of
    information. They can be obtained from http://www.helminc.com.

    Lastly, double check your timing marks after turning the engine over by hand
    before attempting to start the car.
