Can I move the timing belt a notch without teardown? 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Neal on  Thu May 3 03:22 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I think my timing belt may be off a notch on the cam. Car seems to be noisy (valve clatter) that doesn't go away after warm up. Valve adjustment seems to be on the money. Also, I changed the timing belt about 15K miles ago, and after I did it, I noticed that the timing had advanced. I moved the distributor back to 12 degrees BTDC.

So my questions: 1) If I remove the top half of the timing belt cover, can I loosen the tensioner and wiggle the belt on and off at the camshaft without yankin' the crank pulley, belts, and the rest of it? 2) How does the TDC mark on the crank pulley relate to the marks on the camshaft gear (how should it all line up)?

Thanks for any help.
