Okay so, when i first got my engine i accidentally broke the tensioner pulley resulting in the timing belt coming off. Im pretty sure nothing moved but i want to be sure before i turn the engine over.
Is there anyway i can align it so the cams and crank are where they are suppose to be, would a mobile mechanic be able to do this, or maybe even take the car to ford or volvo? Its a focus st225 engine (volvo t5).

Any help much appreciated.

 

There will be timing marks on crank and cams, or possibly timing tools needed, I can try and have a look at work tomorrow, alternativly iirc autodata will send you the timing instructions for around Ł6, google may throw something up.

 

No.1 sparkplug out, 2 1/4 drive extentions down the bore, turn crank SLOWLY and gently........ centre of dwell is true TDC (should be marked on the crank inner pulley
pop the end caps off on the flywheel end they will line up with a U shaped locking tool, visually they should line up like this

notice one above and one BELOW the centre line yes

 

Many thanks for the quick response.
Ive had a look into it a little bit on some volvo sites, there are tiny markings on the cam pulleys and on the crank pulley, its just i dont know where they are suppose to be

 

Thanks Sean, i was going to pm you the other day as i thought you might know
You make it sound simple, i will see if i can have a look over the weekend.
Not far off now

Cheers
