ok so im putting my motor back together and i go and start the car after setting everything to tdc. once i try to start i can hear the car turn over but then i hear a slight noise of pressure letting loose. i go out and check and see that my cranks tdc is no longer in line with my cam gears tdc. im sure im doing everything right.

i did a search and came up with replacing my tensioner. can someone confirm this. and does this happen often?

when putting belt back. here's how i did it.

set crank pulley to tdc mark. set cams/gears to tdc by setting them to 0 and also looking into the cam caps check. now pull intake side of belt up and over the cam gears then slide other side on. should have 1 in deflection in between gears. turn crank pulley over 3 teethes then tighten tensioner.

 

ok i went back and put the belt on exhaust side first, it turns and back fires nothing.. im pretty sure i have my dizzy on correctly. so far it didnt skip teeths but then again i only cranked it over once.

firing order is
3 4
2 1

4 3 2 1

 

fixed problem. took dizzy out turned shaft connecting point 180 degrees and put it back on.
