I just changed my head gasket, everything worked out fine. this was my first time doing it. when I was about to remove my timing belt, I put white-out on the top part of the belt and on the pulley so I would know where to put it back. but obviously I had to move the pulley (cause I'm an idiot ) soI though, what ever, no big deal I'll just move it back once everything is done.

so tonight, I finished up everything. and since you can't pull the pulley back, I had to turn it one whole turn counter clock wise to put it back to it's original position. I hopefully though that that's all that it needed, but it's still idling really rough. so did I do it right ? how many times do I need to turn the pulley ? once , twice, three times or four ? I glanced in the helms, but I couldn't find anything in there.

thanks in advance

oh, and i kinda need this asap, since I'm trying to sell the car.

I belive you turned it to far, you have to turn it back a bit to put tension on the belt, thats what i remember from doing my timing belt,You could allways just take the timing light to everything and look at it that way?

cause right now, it's exactly 1 full 360 degree turn more then it was before

sounds like somebody needs to learn how to correctly put a timing belt back on. you need to like up your crank pully with the tdc mark on the motor, then you have to make sure your cam gear/gears are a tdc then you can put the timing belt on in this order, crank pulley, tensioner, waterpump, exhaust cam, intake cam.
