... The cover is to "check" your timing ... not to set it. How would you put a belt on with the cover in the way?!?! Just put 1 and 4 pistons at tdc and the crank is aligned. That's all you would be able to do with the cover anyways. Then align everything else and put the belt on. Rotate the belt a few times and THEN put the cover on. Here is where you double check your timing and this is all you really need the cover for. ( besides to obvious keeping dirt and crap away from the belt )
