Replacing Timing Belt, Quick Help Needed...

[r33turb]

Hey guys, im doing my rb26 timing belt for the first time and have few questions.

Ive removed the 30mm crank pulley bolt, on the crank pulley itself i see alot of notches(one is orange), i was told the orange one is when your crank is TDC(when lined up with the crank pulley bottom cover timing mark)?..... Anyway, ive been reading a couple of good guides...what i want to know is once i remove the bottom cover (the crank pulley cover), will there be a notch i need to line up?if yes, whats the purpose of the nothes on the crank pulley itself (if the main one is behind the cover), is it just to make 100% sure that when the crank pulley is back on, that your crank is align 100%?

Im a bit confused on this one thats all.

Yes there is a dot on the timing gear behind the balancer, so you can setup the timing belt. The ones on the balancer are to set the ignition timing

Thanks, so ill have to remove the balancer, and the cover to get access to the timing gear? So would it be safe to say i can setup all the timing with the cover off, and once timing is lined up with the bottom, and 2 cam gears, i can place cover back on and rotate the balancer to get the ignition timing correct(as by this stage my main timing will be spot on),.....am i on the right track here?

thanks!, im going to be doing tommorow

you need to setup the ignition timing with a timing light.

So what are the notches on the balancer pulley?, and the timing mark on the cover behind the puller.
