I fell on the ground because I ran out of breath reading your post!

First hint: use punctuation. It really helps the reader understand what's going on. Most people will take a glance at your sentence and not even bother to read it.

 

Ok Speedy, your crank pulley mark may be a little off from the mark on the timing belt cover when the belt is on correctly. The important thing is to make sure the cam marks are lined up with eachother like the manual states.

 

yup, when i changed my timing belt the markers weren't lined up exactly, but if i moved the timing belt a tooth in either direction it was way off.

 

math genius but verbal disaster
