Check on the FAQs either Brickboard or VOC. They are the same FAQs run by
both in partnership.

All the best, Peter.

The basic way to do it is to use a socket and ratchet to turn the crankshaft
to "TDC" as indicated on the timing marks. Remove the top half of the timing
belt cover and see if the stamped marks line up on the gear and the head.
You may have to turn the crankshaft another full turn to get it right. If
the marks are one tooth off it will have to be reset.

One thing to watch out for: if the outer part of the dampener (the pulley on
the crankshaft) has broken away from the inner part where the rubber is the
timing marks are meaningless. If that happens the dampener has to be
replaced anyway or it will come apart while driving. Ours failed when it was
about 10 years old.
