84 4ksq Timing Belt Catastrophe...HELP!

[Bernie Strub]

It seems you misunderstand my meaning.  Once the cam sprocket, water pump
and crank pulley are assembled, with the belt setting correct alignment
between them, it doesn't matter at that point if you rotate your engine to
*any* position, as long as the relative timing stays the same.  Tightening
the crank bolt with the impact may move the system a bit, but there is scant
possibility of the timing changing, if you have the belt tension set
correctly with the water pump.

Unless there is something else you are saying that I'm not getting...btw,
This has worked just fine on several MC engines I've done as well.

>>>Oh, man.  Hey, you know, when you're talkin' about destroying your motor,
it's all horseshoes and hand grenades anyhow.
>>>As the late great Richard Petty once said, "You're gonna run the bitch
'till she blows up anyway!"

>>>Where do you buy the timing belt from?  Mezcal Manufacturing, Inc.?  But
if it works for you, dude, more pressure to ya.
