If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: DIY: Timing belt 96-00
You can use the bolt, or you can turn it with the big hex, or grab it with your hands if you have enough strength.
Dumb question, but clockwise?
On other engines I have no issue with rotating the crank either direction as long as the tensioner is not loose

Re: DIY: Timing belt 96-00
alright i am at step 15, i put the sensor, lower cover and pulley on. When i set the crankshaft to TDC on the lower cover the camshaft is at TDC, but when i rotate the crankshaft one revolution (back to TDC) the camshaft is not at TDC, the “UP” is at 6 oclock, so every other revolution on the crankshaft to TDC sets the camshaft to TDC, hope this makes sense, is this correct?

My two cents worth...
consider the diameter of the camshaft pulley versus the diameter of the crankshaft pulley.

No, it says to rotate the crank 5-6 times to check if its all good, but what im saying is, are they suppose to spin at the same rate, 1 full crank rev to 1 full cam rev? or is it 1 full crank rev to 1/2 cam rev? because they aren’t the same diameter as mentioned in the post above, it would make sense they don’t spin at the same rate

Re: DIY: Timing belt 96-00
Crank-cam ratio is always 2:1
