Can I turn the crank THREE times for TDC?
Replacing the timing belt on my '01 Civic. After I put the belt on, I was turning the crank 2 revolutions counter clockwise and aligning the marks on the camshaft. I went over by about one centimeter...I can't 'back up', so can I make another full rotation counter clockwise to align the marks parallel to the head?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Just spin the crank around 2 more times so the cam is lined up again.
