# With you doing a timing belt replacement

Make sure your cam(s) and crank timing marks are lined up correctly Once that's done then you need to find TDC. Pull the #1 plug and stick a piece of paper or your finger in the hole and have someone keep bumping the starter until the paper or your finger pops out. At that point you will know the #1 piston is coming up on the compression stroke. Now turn the crank by hand until you're at TDC. Once at TDC check/adjust your distributor accordingly. Replys: so does it spark on each compression stroke even if it is an exhaust stroke? n/m unsigned (92SE/89GXE) 10:50:49 7/15/2003 (1) ??? MIKE (93VE) 19:02:12 7/15/2003 (0)
