Howdy.
So, I was doing the timing belt on my D15b7 and something went wrong.
I messed up valves on cylinders 2-4.
It's whatever.
Tooks the head off, new valves are in, head is timed, now Im trying to figure out which timing marks are correct on the crank.
On the crank pulley, there are 3 marks together, with the middle mark being red, and then another mark that is all alone slightly over.
I know the singular mark is the TDC mark, but I read on AllData (A mechancis' program provided by my school) that the red mark is the correct one to use.
Now, I've already been through a set of valves, and I cant afford to go through another. So I need a definitive answer from someone who has legitamately done this. Yes, I know that common knowledge says that you set it to TDC, but I do not know AllData to have been wrong, and have no reason to doubt it.
So, if you've done the timing belt on a D15b7 before, and you're so sure on which timing mark to use that you'd bet your life on it, I would certainly love to hear from you.
Thanks for your time.
