Who ------- cares? It's a Hyundai. :-\

It has to have some sort of marker. Look harer. You could just try not to move it and if it runs like ass after you're done, you fucked up.

Nope...Nothin... Could I just be really careful to not move anything. Would that work??? I hate Hyundai's..........

So your telling me that the designers never planned for the belt to be replaced... look harder

what year is it?

Re:Timing Belt Question???
 

seriously, or there's a really gay way of setting the car at tdc by removing the #1 spark plug and using something long and soft (like a little wooden dowel or something) and turning the engine with it in the hole, when it reaches it's highest point before starting to go back down, that's tdc, then you can make some effin marks. or you can contact the dealer and ask someone in the service dept. if you can't find a manual.

Ok .I just went out and looked. I know how to set it to TDC. There is a mark on the cam gear and the head. So if its at top dead center and I line up those marks... Should it be alright...Its a 92 Hyundai Scoupe (or S coupe). I ------ HATE HYUNDAI'S. But its a good friends only car. Thanks

Anybody...

Yes sir. If I were you, I would crank the motor by hand before I cranked it over to make sure the valves are in proprer working order. You never know when you have unknown people working on strange cars. ;)
