⚙️ Timing Marks Alignment (Toyota 2C Engine)

1. Crankshaft Timing Mark

Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until No.1 piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke.

Check:

The notch on the crank pulley aligns with the “0” mark on the timing cover.

Or, if the timing cover is removed — align the dot/mark on the crankshaft sprocket with the casting mark on the oil pump housing.




---

2. Camshaft Timing Mark

On the camshaft sprocket, there’s a small hole or dot mark.

Align this hole/dot with the notch on the cylinder head (top edge) — usually at 12 o’clock position.

You can check alignment by inserting a small pin or screwdriver through the hole — it should line up with the mark behind it.



---

3. Injection Pump Timing Mark

The injection pump pulley has a small dot or groove.

Align this with the notch or raised mark on the pump bracket (usually around 1 o’clock position).

On some models, a small viewing window shows the mark on the pump gear.

4. Install the Timing Belt

1. Make sure all three marks (crank, cam, pump) are perfectly aligned.


2. Install the timing belt starting from:

Crankshaft → Injection pump → Camshaft → Tensioner



3. Apply tension and then rotate the crankshaft two full turns clockwise.


4. Recheck all marks — they must return exactly to the same alignment points.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t rotate crankshaft counterclockwise during setup.

Always recheck alignment after tensioner release.

Replace any worn-out oil seals while the belt is off.
