As in the relationship between the notch on the crank pully and the timing numbers at tdc .. . . . . . If so the haynes manual said too line it up to the 0 mark
No not the pre-assembly postion. What I was inquiring about is where is the timing mark on crankshaft pulley in relation to the numbered timing bar(has zero on it)when the light from the timing light/gun is flashing.The procedure you follwed when reinstalling the head/dist., gets you close to the correct timing, so you only have to move the dist. back and forth to adjust it. You then use a timing light to set the correct timing.
I know the Haynes manual is sold as an engine repair manual, but is basically cliff notes, the
'93 Toyota FSM has all the information, and step by step procedures w/pictures, as well as a trouble shooting section. Here is also a link to an
'85 FSM, but unlike the '93 it is a downloadable file only.
