Ok so my water pump went out so I said ok may as well replace the usual parts and belts - So heres the problem I put the timing belt on and left it to get the ac and alternator belts well my friend while I was away decided to try and set up the timing belt he told me that the cam gear was off so he slid the belt off and put a wrench to it and turned the stock cam gear which would have turned the cam till it was pointing to up the up mark at tdc on no.1 with the crank which is at tdc aligned with timing belt cover marks, I also had a rod down the spark plug hole which shows it at the up-most point now . I also chk'd the distributor which is pointing at no. 1. I am just wondering if that could cause a problem with what he did ? I havent gotten eveything back together to try starting it and figured I would ask first to see if anyone knows. And this is a stock d15 with stock cam gear .


Thanx

 

pictures do alot of justice right now. if your unsure about puttin everything on, just put the belt on. and turn it one whole revolution by hand, and see if the marks line up again. if you want to be extra sure, just put the crank pulley on with the timing covers off and start it. if its right you will know if it starts up and has power when you rev the engine

 

Yea I went ahead and double chk'd everything and removed all the plugs and chk'd the cam gear markings with tdc on each cylinder, and all seemed fine and said hell with it and started it and it all seems fine no problems. I took it down the street and it seems just fine no hesitation or stumbling I was just wanting to be safe it starts up and idles at about 2k when cold then drops to about 800 when warm.
