Well, been a while since I have posted on here!

Water pump went on my old 'wagon, and managed to change that over easily enough.

Thought I'd throw a new timing belt on it while I was at it.

Now, the belts on, nothing hits when I turn it over by hand and I *think* I have all the timing marks lined up, but I have a few questions....

I couldn't find a service manual so I found a few bits and pieces on the net.

I have alligned the cam mark/dowel at 12.00

Crank timing mark alligned with mark on oil pump

Marked out 53 teeth on the belt, and the top mark on the belt aligned with the mark on the cam timing wheel. (115 teeth on belt)

But the belt on the crank is 2 teeth out....

Turn the motor over by hand, no bad noises/nothing hitting on the inside.

It starts up, but sounds like its missing. Ran out of time, but not sure if the timing is still a bit out, or I might have damaged a plug lead or something?

Any hints? Might have to go and buy one of those Haynes manuals...

should have the marks on it already, compare against the original. sound like it may be incorrectly tensioned i.e. one side more than the other. a quick rotation of the engine will even the belt tension out. if its skipping two teeth, go back two, rotate and recheck
