Timing Check 16v




 Maybe you have this confused with changing the cam belt....I know the Bentley recommends rotating the crank by hand after changing the cam timing belt...in which case you are 100% correct.

  and after you are all timed up and think you are ready to go. make suer to give the engine a full revolution for good measure with your ratchet. just extra security.

    OK, thanks.  I'll try that.  I eyeballed it against the crankshaft mark, but that mark is too far away from its arrow and half as accurate anyway.  I'll grab my boss's adjustable light today.
