This time, the cheapo timing belt I bought at Rockauto.com lost half it's teeth, so I decided to cut to the chase, and go buy a Dayco belt at AAP.
Then, when I was about to install the new belt, all of a sudden I realized that all this time I may have been making a big mistake.
So here it is:
When you look at the camshaft sprockets, each one of them has a cast letter and an arrow in one of the radiuses: L for the front (left, obviously) bank, and R for the right one.
But then, on the lip of the sprockets, there's a yellow paint dot. The one in the left sprocket coincides (more or less) with the arrow, but the one on the right one is almost opposite to it.
I have been using the arrows as timing marks. Am I doing it right, or should I use the yellow dots?
Thanks in advance.
