Technical Tensioner bolt

Remove wheel, remove plastic arch liner.

Think im right in saying that whilst the cam pulley might be lined up the crank pulkey if spun out of sync could be one full turn out.
if timing has been lost i believe you have to ensure piston no.1 is at TDC on compression stroke

 

[fingers99]

TDC on #1 cylinder on compression is good practice on non-wasted spark engines. On the later FIRE engines, it's sufficient to use the timing marks.

I've yet to have any need to remove the clutch cover/bellhousing bung.

There are markings for the cam, markings for the crank. Both need to be lined up. Then, re-tension belt, check again, if OK, turn engine through two crankshaft revolutions (clockwise) check again.

i didnt turn engine through two crankshaft revolutions after i timed it on both ends and put belt back on, can that mean timing is off a little?

not certainly.., it's a way of double checking..
