ok well here is an easy way to find Top dead center

1. Take No. 1 spark plug out
2. turn engine over untill the piston is all the way at the top ( you might need something to poke into the bore, But be carful not to get it stuck!)
3. re mark were the TDC point is at
4. Replace Spark plug

and then try timing the engine smile.gif

Sounz lik you'r doing it yourself. Cher cher!!

1, always keep you workspace clean when you're working on cam belts... oil on your belt will ruin it really quickly.
2, mark your settings, using twink and line it with the one of the 90 degree intervals. I think there's a way to gauge it from positions on the motor, not sure without looking at it. anyway, the twink trick should work.

that Top dead centre trick is another good way, and I'm sure those 90 degree intervals will line up with a significant part on the motor.

I had a tricky little belt tension release mechanism in a honda I use to have. took me a while to work out how to release it. yours may have one, I don't know, never done a toyota yet.

good luck
