RE: 8v timeing belt question

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>Just as an addition to what Jonas wrote. Sometimes it has been known for 
shope like MR Clutch to install the flywheel on incorrectly and then the 
marks on the flywheel wont line up with respect to the rest of the engine. 
If this is the case (you think) then there is a notch on the crank pulley 
the needs to be lined up with the outer edge of the intermediate pulley. If 
you have already installed the lower T.B. cover then you should see an arrow 
in this area. That is what the notch should line up with. If all else fails 
and you have ac or some shit then remover #1 spark plug and put a 
screwdriver into the hole and rotate the engine until the screwdriver is at 
its apex that should tell you TDC for the crank. HTH Oh and BTW be careful 
with that screwdriver, dont score the cylinder walls or get it wedged 
between thee piston and the cylinder.
