Default Timing

will your car start if it is off by a tooth in timing?

Default Re: Timing

how do you know it is off? and how can it randomly fall out of timing. My timing belt is brand new. I just put on a new alternator belt and had to torque the crank pulley to get the belt on but I don't know if that could make the belt jump a tooth.
