this is becoming such a PITA! i have a few questions that are confusing me, heres the VFAQ im following
http://www.vfaq.com/mods/timingbelt-2G.html
1st confusion...
#24. Positioning the balance shaft, it says "Remove the balance shaft plug on the rear side of the cylinder block and insert a Phillips screwdriver {shank diameter 8 mm (.32 in.)} through the hole."
i cant find this plug.
also it says an easier way to do that, "Simply rotate the mark on the oil pump sprocket until it is pointing straight up, and let it go. If the sprocket rotates towards (counterclockwise) the timing mark on the engine, the oil pump sprocket is aligned correctly."
I rotate the sprocket like it says and it doesnt rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when i let it go, it just stays in place...this is confusing the hell out of me.
2nd confusion...
crankshaft TDC mark, with the pulley off i dont see a mark for top dead center.
