Crank Pulley turned counter clockwise?

[cuttheduck]

I know you're not supposed to turn the crank pulley counterclockwise as it can throw of timing somehow (still haven't figured that out). If it turned CCW slightly (10-15 degrees tops) when the bar I was using to hold it in place slipped a little, does that matter? Any risk of damage because of movement that minor? Thanks.

BTW, I was just replacing the pulley and the timing belt was on of course.

In the manual it says when setting your timing after a change, you need to turn the crank CCW 1/4 of a turn before makeing the 6 ravolutions to rechack timing. As long as you did not go past that 1/4 turn mark I dont see where you should have damage.

It sounds like you should be good, just try and make sure that the crank stays as stationary as possible and you are on your way.
And do double check to make sure the timing marks are still lined up as well

Yep, checked and she started up beautifully.

Like I said, I can be anal when it comes to cars.

Appreciate the response.

ive moved mine the wrong direction probably a half turn in order to get the balance shaft belt on. No ill effects that I have noticed.
