My timing belt broke and i need to replace the belt. I know that i also need to check compression to check for internal damage, just need some help to set timing. All/any input appreciated
Try turning the crank pulley, get a ratchet with the socket to match the bolt of the pulley. When you're turning lessen for any noise or if you feel any friction when turning stop. try this with all spark plug out. If noise or friction is notice there is a problem but if it move smoothly then you're fine.
(1)you will need to follow #1 spark plug wire to #1 spark plug.
(2)loose all spark plug and remove them.
(3)on the #1 cylinder stick a long screw driver into the cylinder.
(4)have someone turn the crank pulley using the socket and ratchet.
*Turn very slowly.
when you see the screw driver started go up continue turning the crank slowly. When the screw driver stop and just as you see and feel it's going back down stop and mark the crank pulley where it stop. Now there should be marking on the pulley make sure they're line up with the marking on the engine. After this is set look at the cam pulley there's marking on this pulley as well make sure it's line up with the engine marking if not turn the cam pulley to it's appropriate mark with the engine. Now your timing is set install your timing belt now.
