However my step-dad does, and it's his car. All I need to know is what number should the timing marker be aligned with? It says T-10-20; what should the notch line up with? It's a 1993 non-turbo import. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

I was wondering if there's anyway to mark it up with the numbers that are right next to the sproket? Sorry if you don't understand, but it has markings saying "20" "10" and "T". Is it possible to line the sproket up to one of those? If so, which one? Thanks, Matt

Take the timing covers off and take the harmonic dampener off which will give you access to the crank sprocket. Check the time mark on the sprocket. Mark the belt. Secure the cam gears. Take the belt off. Replace timing pulleys and push the ram rod back in the tensioner. Put it all back together. Theres the jist.
