setting timing

[whiteawdgsx]

well i was wondering if there is an easier way to get the timing belt on after i slipped it off of the cam gears when i took off the head? i thought i'd be able to get it back on like my honda but i guess i was wrong.

put it over the cam gears first then work it on from there. make sure you have your tensioner set right.

Take the tensioner off and compress it in a vice and put a nail or something in the hole until you get the belt on and then pull the nail back out.

yeah i know to do that if the timing cover is off... mines not i'm trying to do this without pulling the crank pulley off(something i don't like to do). i'll ###### just pull it off and pull the tensioner just to be safe.
