Hello and Happy Holiday.
My 91 745T broke its timing belt late last night. I got fan shroud, fan, and all three fan belt off the car this morning (3 AM), but need to know how to find Top Dead Center. The timing belt was broken in two, and I don't know how to find TDC. Please help me.
1. Is there a way to find TDC without having the timing belt on the car?
2. The intermediate pulley was moved during the top timing cover removal process and I turn the lower crank pulley before marking or writing its position in relation to the other two pulley. Will this hurt and/or effect how I can find top dead center?
3. Can I use the white marks on the individual pulley and reference them to a position on the front of the engine like a clock? ie. White mark on crankshaft pulley should be at the ???? position, white mark on intermediate pulley should be at the ???? position, and bottom crank position should be at the ???? posistion.
4. If I can find TDC by referencing them a position on the front of the car, does the timing belt need to be on the car first? In other words, can I line up the individual white mark on each of the three pulley themselves first and then put on the belt. OR do I put on the timing belt and turn the lower crankshaft until all three white marks on each of the pulley line up and then reinstall the timing belt so that the white marks on the timing belt line up with the white marks on the three pulleys.
5. Sorry for the long post. I have read the FAQ on this subject, but I am still not quite sure how to find TDC given my situation with the broken timing belt and mowing the intemediate pulley and lower crankshaft pulley before marking down their posistion. Please help me.
