Timing marks?

I think there is a hole but I have never used it. I take it you have it torn apart and are looking to line things back up. Take out plug #1 and insert a long screwdriver. Slowly rotate the engine until the screwdriver is at its highest point. That my friend is TDC, top dead center. (Engine rotates easy with all the plugs out.) Once you have TDC on the crank you need to line up the cam according to the marks they have put on the cam.

You do not have to replace water pump if it is not damaged in any way ?? some people replace it at the same time because of all the work involved .. it's a matter upto yourself ?

TIMING BELT
Removal (1980-95)
Disconnect negative battery cable. Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC of compression stroke. Remove splash shield. Remove power steering pump, leaving hoses attached. Remove A/C belt idler pulley bracket and belt. Remove alternator belt. Remove power steering pump bracket.
Remove cruise control actuator (if equipped). Remove power steering reservoir bracket. Remove engine mount nuts. Loosen engine mount bolt. Pivot side engine mount cushion aside.
Remove valve cover. Remove upper timing belt cover. Remove crankshaft pulley. Loosen timing belt tension adjuster bolt 180 degrees. Push tensioner to release belt tension. Retighten tension adjuster bolt. Disengage timing belt from pulleys. See Fig. 1 , Fig. 3 or Fig. 4 .

Installation (1980-95)
Ensure No. 1 cylinder is at TDC of compression stroke. Install timing belt onto crankshaft pulley, tension adjuster pulley, water pump pulley, and camshaft sprocket. DO NOT bend or twist belt excessively. Ensure crankshaft pulley timing mark aligns with pointer on lower timing belt cover. See Fig. 8 .
Adjust timing belt tension. See TIMING BELT ADJUSTMENT . Before installing valve cover gasket, apply non-hardening sealant to rounded surfaces of front and rear camshaft caps. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Adjust drive belts to proper tension.

TIMING BELT ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:Always adjust timing belt tension with engine cold.

Remove cylinder head cover. Remove upper timing belt cover. Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC of compression stroke. Loosen but do not remove, timing belt adjuster bolt. See Fig. 9 .
Rotate crankshaft 3 teeth counterclockwise on camshaft sprocket to create tension on timing belt. Tighten adjuster bolt to specification. Retighten crankshaft pulley bolt to specification if it loosened during crankshaft rotation. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .

Best thing to do is download a service manual OR go buy a haynes manual for your car. It has a step by step process of the job and pictures to help you do it.

It has an interference motor so most likely the valves are bent but best way to tell is just replace timing belt and check compression when done see how it runs.

Hi there,

Timing belt procedure as below.

mark (mhpautos)

With regards to your timing question, are you referring to camshaft timing? or ignition timing?

The cam gear should say UP on it. You want to make sure that the UP mark is indeed facing upwards.

On the side of the gear (90degrees of the UP mark in both directions) there will be little slots on the gear. This will line up with the edge of the cylinder head.

Hope this helps.

If you do not see any marks, just set the crank to TDC and mark your own marks, but be careful that you do not loose the marks that you made while the belt is off.

Can you better explain your problem here.

Is the vehicle automatic or standard? What do you mean you have to really shove it to move? What are you 'shoving'? Why is the vehicle in neutral why you are driving in the first place?

How many clicks are on your e-brake?

If it is less than 5 your rear brakes or parking brake is adjusted way too tight and is causing the rear shoes to drag against the drum.

It may not be e-brake related, but it is definately an adjustment issue with either the brake shoe adjuster or the parking brake adjuster.

Hope this helps.

Since it is an interference engine, it is possible. It depends on the position of the valves when the shaft broke. I would think a fair chance you would be okay.A look inside with a borescope may shed some light on it.
