TROUBLESHOOTING Should the camshaft drive belt/timing belt jump timing by a tooth or two, the engine could still run; but very poorly. To visually check for correct timing of the crankshaft, auxiliary shaft, and the camshaft follow this procedure: There is an access plug provided in the cam drive belt cover so that the camshaft timing cam be checked without moving the drive belt cover. Remove the access plug. 1. Turn the crankshaft until the timing marks on the crankshaft indicate TDC. 2. Make sure that the timing mark on the camshaft drive sprocket is aligned with the pointer on the inner belt cover. 3. Never turn the crankshaft of any of the overhead cam engines in the opposite direction of normal rotation. Backward rotation of the crankshaft may cause the timing belt to slip and alter the timing.
