You can't change it without removing the timing belt from the cam gear, I believe the timing belt cover is two pieces, just remove the top. Also I believe there is markings on the cam gear that you use as reference, and you possibly could mark the belt with chalk to match it up. Someone else will be able to fill you in with the details shortly I'm pretty sure, but I would recommend if your in a hurry, to maybe try searching for "cam installation", or pick yourself up a repair manual for your car. Your also going to have to remove the distributer too, which means your going to want to check your timing afterwards; and since your removing the rocker arms, it would be a good time to replace those lower tube seals, and you might as well check the valve lash too.

Congrats, dumbass. You just got yourself permanently banned from this site. Good job!

To clarify, he had two usernames. One was banned for asking to buy something in this section. He decided to bypass that ban with this name. I didn't permanently ban anything until I saw that he had used this name while the other is banned.


*waits for him to come back with a third name, telling me how much I suck...*
