What do I do if the marks on the crank aren't lined up
At 12:00 but the cam mark is. Do I turn more times or take
the belt off and turn the crank to match the mark on the
oil bracket. The car was running fine, I just noticed the timing
belt tensioner was froze up. I bought a new tensioner and belt,
now I'm putting it on and my mark on crank is at about 11:00.
which is to the left of the oil mark about 1 (one) inch. What should I do, either leave it and put on belt, turn crank only untilled it matches or what? I have to be at work in 3 hours from now and this is my only transportation at the moment.
