HELP - Timing Belt Off by one tooth - damage????

[siambisg at uchastings.edu]

thanks for the quick replies guys, my headache is subsiding already :)  Since fatigue, frustration and hunger have mounted so I will put off further work until tomorrow.

i am a little confused about the timing mark on the tranny/bellhousing.  It is to the right of the '0' mark?  I can't see anything there.  Or is it the metal straight egde that runs across the flywheel at the bottom of the opening of the bell housing?  I guess i'm looking for a little guidance as to where the mark is that i line up the '0' across.

as for the noise, the belts may be a little tight and/or there is no coolant in the engine, only water, because the radiator failed.  I've followed the bentley for belt tensions but will recheck.  I will also change the oil b/c its old and the engine has been sitting for almost two months.

At this point, I'm just relieved that I can go back and fix things.

thanks,
