Timing belt installation
Posted: Sun 22 Jun, 2014 4:38 pm
Hi everyone,
I put a new water pump in my Sierra today. For that procedure I followed the SJ413 workshop manual and everything went well.
Afterwards I started re-installing the timing belt (that was only removed in order to get at the water pump) and think I have stuffed up the configuration of the distributor rotor the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys by turning the crankshaft with the timing belt removed. To get everything back in alignment I think I need to have the distributor rotor pointing at the cylinder 1 spark plug wire, with the camshaft timing mark lined up at the top and the crankshaft timing mark aligned with the 0 on the timing cover. Does this sound right to others?
Cheers
David
