Turning over by hand
locoboy - 22/3/10 at 07:35 AM

Guys I have done my first ever timing belt change, how many crank revolutions will be required when turning it by hand to make sure I don't have any clearance issues?
I don't want to not turn it over enough times then find out that one of the valves contacts the piston.

It's a 4 cylinder 8 valve.

Cheers,

one full cycle will be 2 turns.

Yep 2 complete turns of the crank will prove no intereference, do a few more then re-check the tension is still correct.
