Default Timing Belt Install - No Start Issues

Hey Everyone,

Need some help, the other day the belt blew on my 98. So got it home diassembled replaced, lined up all the timing marks and no start. Even reclocked everything thinking I may have been at BTC instead of TDC. Still no start, did this a couple of times and also checked spark, still no start.

Oh and the cover is still off along with AC and PS Pump, I was attempting to start dry start before I spent the time putting everything back together, the balancer is on though.

Need some expert advice here please.

Thx !

Well problem solved. I did a bit more research and found that there are actually two similar marks on the back plate of the Cam Sprocket. So for those doing this fix make sure you do triangle to triangle instead of diamond to triangle.

As soon as I found the actual triangle and retimed, she fired right up.
