I cant remember the exact position of the crank pulley, at the moment the pulley will not go any futher onto the crank but the timing belt is at the very edge of the sprockets and not central as it should be.
When I'm putting the crank pulley back on should the outer edge of the pulley be flush the end of the crankshaft as in diagram
A or should the pulley protrude several mm as in diagram
B..?
