FYI, the crank pin locks the engine on TDC when the belt is installed. Once you take the belt off, the camshaft bar is to hold the cams or set them up for correct timing with the crank pin in.

Keep in mind, the crank pin & camshaft bar set the engine for TDC on cylinder #3, not cylinder #1, like most people think, so do not try to manually find TDC of cylinder #1 thinking that's what the tool sets the engine up to.

Thanks for the reminder about TDC being for cylinder #3. I went through that discovery process when I changed the cam tensioner seals last fall. I put a wooden dowel in cylinder #1 speark plug hole, turned the engine over by hand until the dowel reached maximum height, and couldn't understand why the engine wasn't at TDC. I checked my manual and found the anwer.
