Default Timing question

I replaced the cam chain tensioner gaskets and as i was rotating the engine with the timing belt on. I was using a wrench. I noticed the tb tensioner was falling off. Noticed the bolt was stripped probably by previous owner because it all looked brand new. question is I didn't get it back to tdc before I removed the timing belt. Do I need to move the cams and everything to tdc before i put the belt back on? Everything is still lined up?


Thank you

P.S I am new here and if there is a thread on this already i apologize

Default In a word: Yes, you need to confirm the timing!

Not clear what you have done? Removed the cam chain tensioners & cams, or only lifted the chain tensioner, and slid the gasket in. Before removing the belt?

Anyways, yes I would reconfirm the timing of the cams and crank.

Do a search for the area you want details on, etc etc.
