November 1, 201411 yr 99 Forester SOHC 2.5L This setting doesn't seem right, for where the timing marks aline according to what I'm seeing in the Haynes manual. The crank doesn't line up when the 2cams do. It does line up at the top where the manual shows, so that part behind the crank does it provide crucial placement of anything important? Apparently the idiot before me didn't put it back together correctly????.
November 1, 201411 yr Author Never mind, I am an new idiot here on this item, see now that it lines up.
November 1, 201411 yr Tick mark on the back crank tooth lines up with the tic mark on the top of the oil pump cover!
November 2, 201411 yr Wrong mark. You need the mark on the BACK tooth of the crank sprocket. Its 90 degrees off. If the previous person put it together 90 degrees off the valves are bent.
November 2, 201411 yr the mark pointed to is the one that should be used - and it should be straight up, as should the marks on the cam sprockets.
