4.2 To rotate the crankshaft, put the head on the center bolt of the crankshaft pulley and insert the extension into the hole in the inner panel of the left wing (wheel removed for clarity)
2. When viewed from the side of the timing belt, the crankshaft rotates clockwise. To rotate the crankshaft, place the head of the ratchet on the center bolt of the crankshaft pulley (4.2). Also, the crankshaft can be rotated with a starter.
4.3a Align the notch on the pulley (arrow) with a T mark on the setting ruler (drive belts and water pump pulley removed for clarity) (1.5L engine model shown)
4.3b On some models, the setting ruler is located on the timing belt cover (lower timing belt cover removed for clarity)
3. Rotating the crankshaft, set the notch on the crankshaft pulley opposite the T mark on the setting ruler (4.3a and 4.3b).
4.4 When the piston of the first cylinder is in the TDC position at the moment of the compression stroke, the ignition distributor slider should look exactly down (note that there are marks on the cylinder head and ignition distributor indicating the TDC position for the first cylinder)
4. When the piston of the first cylinder is in the TDC position at the time of the compression stroke, the ignition distributor slider should look down (4.4) and the rocker arms of the valves of the first cylinder must be free and not press on the valves. If the slider is facing up or the rocker arms are down, rotate the crankshaft 360°.
5. To set the pistons of other cylinders to TDC on the compression stroke, turn the crankshaft clockwise and follow the firing order of the cylinders.
