Re: Timing Belt

There's a VFAQ on doing your T-Belt I believe as well that you may find helpful.

As for the oil pump, my first question is do you still have your balance shafts? If not, don't worry about it. Just line the dot on the oil pump gear with the pointer.

If you do still have your balance shafts, then you can't just line up the dot with the pointer. There is a chance your gear is 360* off beacuse it also drives one of the balance shafts.

This is the easiest way I know to ensure it's correct. With your hand,rRotate the oil pump gear so the dot is just a little bit away from the pointer, then let go of the gear. It should rotate by itself slightly. If it rotates the dot AWAY from the pointer, then you're gear is 360* off. If it rotates the dot TOWARDS the pointer, then you're good.

Hope that helps a little, let me know if something didn't make sense.
