I have tried the search function before starting a new tread and I tried a local forum but no luck. Basically I want to be 200% certain that the TB belt is being replaced the correct way.
I really lucked out because about 9 or 10 tooth where missing from the belt, thank god I haven't drove it yet! The upper mark is at TDC.
My question is that in some DIY video's and manuals state that you have to align the mark on the bottom half on the timing cover with a groove on the pulley, these 2 :
But the Haynes manual I am using states that you have to align the groove in the crankshaft with the notch in the front inner cover, as the following photo shows.
Is this the correct way or if these marks lign up does the pulley line up as well? I think it does, I know there have been millions of TB treads but you can't blame anyone for double checking right?
