Timing belt slip during adjustment	Sign In

Hi everyone.
I just recently did a timing belt replacement on my car, this was my first time. Here is my problem/question. When I was tightening the crank-pulley bolt, (my engine turns CCW, while the bolt is CW), the timing belt slipped several notches over the cam sprocket, that is - the crank rotated while the cam stayed in place. Since I was rotating the engine backward from its operating rotation, I take it that my camshaft is now 2 notches AHEAD of the crank. Should this pose any significant problem. Thanks in advance.

Of course it will. I'll be surprised if it even ran and you could easily bend all the valves because of it.

I know there is such a thing as cam advancement, but not sure how much of a degree change can be tolerated. I figure mine is roughly 18-20 degrees forward. In case that you suggest I should fix it, what is the best method to determine the proper position between crankshaft/camshaft given I can trust the timing marks on the crank for TDC.

You line up the timing marks perfectly. There is no other method. There is no room for error.
