Ok, I dont wanna sound like a idiot but I've never used a timing light before. In the discription in the book it says to just aim it at the crank pulley or bell housing depending on where the timing marks are. Do I need to take my timing belt cover off to expose the actual arrow and crank gear or do I just aim it at the crank pulley? It's a DOHC ZC.

 

No, the cover stays on. You should be able to see the marks on the outer crank pulley.

 

Just pos/neg, number one cylinder spark plug. Aim at the crank and adjust dizzy till dead on the red mark(should be 16 or 18 BTDC i forget)

 

Alright, easy enough.....thanks a bunch guys!

 

Just so you know there is a tab on the timing cover itself that you line up the middle mark out of the 3 timing marks. The one off to the side is for TDC, which can also be found without removing the timing cover.

 

Ah yes, I know what you're refering to. Thank you
