In response to In response to 40

To rotate the crankshaft I put the same bolt on there again, without the pulley, and used a ratchet to turn it. Not sure but I think you're only supposed to turn it clockwise... that's what I did just to be on the safe side.

Two crankshaft turns = One cam turn. If the cams gear marks are facing away from each other, turn the crankshaft once so they meet up.

Besides the headgasket and timing belt, I'm also replacing the tensioner pulley w/bracket, the idler pulley, and the water pump. Some people replace the tensioner too but I've never heard it going bad, so I cleaned it off and am gonna reuse it.

I had a little trouble compressing the tensioner, haha... I put it in between a jack and mom's car... it lifted the car and the tensioner still wouldn't compress! :o Keeping in mind mom's car weighs 3700 lbs, I figured the tensioner was still good.
