Yes, I've read ALL of the others.
My question has to do with the pointer that you use to line up the mark on the cam gear. It'd be a no brainer if it were a simple pointer, but mine is like a three pronged fork, or has three fingers on it.
When I took the timing cover off (after rotating to TDC), the mark on the cam gear was lined up with the right most finger (closest to the drivers wheelwell).
I loosened the tensioner & rotated the cam one belt tooth to the left & put it all back together, then started it up & set the timing...Still runs like crap.
Has anyone seen one of these three fingered pointers? How'd you set yours?
