ive always said theres only one way to do a job and thats right first time if you cut corners it will bite you later on!
excelent thread again and im watching it with interest!
Yeh I paint mine too, but only for if it all goes wrong/loose concentration I can go back to the belt and start again.
Theoretically paint marks can be used, but belts do stretch, and if the timing is out (as this landrover is) to start with then with out TDC you have no way of ever knowing if its right.

I fannied around for hours trying to get the pulley and crank gear off with out damaging them. (damper pulley £200 gear pulley £100ish) only to find they were fucked to bits on the inside where the woodrough key was soooo rusted it had cut its own groove into the pulley
It was litterally rust and the FT bolt holding the timing in place
Just wish the bloody timing kit would turn up sitting here waiting. I may even have to get the beetle out.
