I'M DAVID FROM WINNETKA, CA 91306 WITH A QUESTION.
When a timing belt breaks where ever the cam and crankshaft stop and after you realign the timing marks is it ever possible on any engine domestic or Japanese etc. That the crankshaft could be 360 degrees off? Thus still causing a no start?
The t. Belt never broke and didn’t leave its original timing marks. “The engine was run out of oil.” NOT MY CAR BUT A CUSTOMER’S, and I was curious I've never heard anything anywhere or read anywhere anything about being 360 degrees off on the crankshaft causing a no start. Car still won’t start and I have very little compression. An engine won’t fire without compression I understand that.
Should I always check the distributor rotor to be pointed to no.1 wire and crankshaft on TDC cylinder no.1 every time I replace a broken timing belt?
Are all Japanese and Domestic engines done that way? Cylinder no.1 TDC?
Thanks, David
