Hi folks. I'm replacing the timing belt (and tensioner) on a Mazda 626 w/ I4 engine.
I've set the crank at TDC:
The book shows the timing marks like so:
But mine are 180 degrees out (one might be off a tooth):
Do you think the belts simply slipped that much, and coincidentally, in the both nearly perfectly 180 degrees out of spec, or is it more likely that the ignition was also 180 out of spec, and things "just worked"?
