86 stanza timing belt replacement

Hello guys,

I hope some of you have an idea about replacing timing belt on 4 cyclinder 5/86 stanza with 8 spark plugs.

I bought a replacement belt and noticed there are two marks on the belt. The manual says i have to allign with respect to markers on the pulleys. On the cam shaft pulley i noticed there are 3 markers. two of tehm circular and one of them trianglar. which marker i should use. plus depending the way i use the belt, the lenght is different. should i use short side or long side.

i will need some help despereately. I tried to allign it with respect to all markers all day long one by one but no light here.

TIA.

The exhaust valve is about to close and the intake is just starting to open. Be gentle moving the shafts around and you won't damage/bend anything.

No idea and why I sugested looking at the valves. I wouldn't trust something like a haynes or chilton manual either.

Probably will, which is another reason to look at the valve position rather than guessing.

Steve,

What do you mean by "valves are on overlap"?

Which marker i should use, and which side of the belt, shorter or longer side between markers face front of the engine.

thanks.

do the valve hit if the belt broke or mis alligned. thanks.
