[QUOTE="tobyw, post: 1552177, member: 16413"] Unfortunately, the front plastic is all gone on this engine so the factory alignment marks aren't present... The string method consists of the following, from what I've read on the interwebs: 1.) Crank at #1 TDC compression 2.) Aux shaft rotated such that the dizzy rotor is pointing directly at #1 post on cap 3.) Run a string from the centerline of the cam pulley bolt to the centerline of the Aux pulley bolt 4.) Rotate the cam pulley so that the timing pointer on the pulley is directly in line with the string 5.) Install the timing belt and rotate the engine 2 full revolutions, take slack out of timing belt, and ensure the cam pointer still lines up perfectly with the string between bolt centerlines Supposedly, this sets timing dead nuts 0*... I've done it 3 times, just to make sure. It'll sputter, but won't light off and run. I have rotated the distributor both directions several degrees, and it just won't run on it's own :mad: [/QUOTE]
