Hey guys I have a couple questions before I put my new timing belt back on.
1. In this tutorial http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/182787-how-change-your-timing-belt.html , post #15 step 14, the guy says to make sure the crank is NOT at TDC so when I rotate the cam gears to line them up, the valves don't hit the pistons. How do I know when it is NOT at TDC?
2. When putting the auto-tensioner back on (new one), Do I compress it with a C clamp and bolt it on with the clamp on, or do I clamp it, put a allen screw in the hole, take C clamp off, then bolt it up?
Thanks. I hope my questions were clear.
