ok I replace the timming belt on my nephews car becuz it did not pass smog the timming belt was off one tooth and what the instructions said 16 degrees + or - 2 at the red mark…
the smog guy wont pass the car he says its apost to be at the white mark…
were is it a post to be.
white mark is tdc, aka 0* of timing
get a $20 haynes manual from autozone, take it in and show him.
or google it and print a page out, i couldnt find it on autozone.com but i only searched for a minute
tell him you want the test for free also for wasting your time :werd:
I have alldata I printed up what it said and show it to hem and he pull out his book. red is 0 and is 16 white…
he show have to it to my smog guy he makes your car pass.
What i dont understand why do we need to set the white at 16 degrees.
when all you relay need you can buy any old cheep light and set the red a 0… why do i need even have to worry about the white.
well if you do adjust the timing, theres a hole on the camshaft that aligns with the cam tower nearest to the cam sprocket, align it and put a 5mm punch, it holds it perfectly, all you then worry about is the bottom half.
