timing marks

[ritchie]

Hi just changed my waterpump tensioner cambelt etc,I locked the cams with allen keys made certain the crank pulley didnt click out when removing the pulley,but the timing marks are now slightly out o s**t!
Seems to me that the front cam has miraculasly moved out a couple of teeth,does that sound likely and should i now set the crank to 0 take the belt off and adjust the front cam to tdc, Anybody had similar as this is my first cambelt change, cheers

I had a similar problem when i was setting my belt (at TDC & cams on marks) because as u tighten up the tensioner the lower pulley moves so u need to compansate for this and took me a while to get it right Don`t forget u can lock of the cams with the bolts from the plastic belt cover.

That now makes sense to me Im sure thats whats happened.Guess i should concentrate on adjusting the crank slightly retarded before tensioning ,cheers for that!!!
