Re: Tech: Timing Belt Replacement 16v

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

I would like to point out that if you are going to be using the mark on the 
flywheel you should also check at the front of the crank pulley too to be 
sure that its mark is also lined up. I have seen many incidents where Joe 
Backyard dumbass put the flywheel on wrong and the timing marks are false.
