Timing belt off without mark! What should I do?
Tried to remove the out pulley with the timing belt still on the crankshaft pulley. But actually remove the whole crankshaft pulley since I had loosen all the bolts. So the timing belt dropped unexpectedly before marking the tooth. What shall I do when replace the new one?

bring the motor to TDC (top dead center) pull out the #1 cylinder spark plug..
make sure that it is at tdc by checking it with a screw driver, (the cam sprocket has a dimple on it, line that up with the top of the cylinder head), it should hit the top of the piston instantly, check that reference by popping off the distributor cap, the rotor should be at the #1 wire, also the distributor has a notch that the rotor should be pointing at. there will be marks on the flywheel and you can see these through the bell housing. after you put the belt on, turn the motor over twice by hand before firing it up.

I'll check that later, cause I don't have a right spark plug right now. But if it is not on TDC, I can't turn the cam sprocket now, right?
