May 18, 200817 yr Hi- I am swapping out the timing belt on my 1995 Legacy. At some point I screwed up the timing, and now need to get the crankshaft set back to TDC. My plan was to just set a screwdriver in first cylinder sparkplug hole and crank till it reached its apex. However I do not know which cylunder is number 1. Can someone identify the order of them for a 1995 legacy 2.2? Thanks Ryan
May 18, 200817 yr Subarus are amazingly easy for this Front of engine Pass side 1-2 Driver side Pass side 3-4 Driver Side Or easy way to remeber, the oddballs are always in the passenger seat.
May 18, 200817 yr Front of engine Pass side 1-2 Driver side Pass side 3-4 Driver Side And to create a mental image of nipper's layout, picture yourself under your car on your back and looking up at the engine!!! But why do you need to get #1 to TDC? You can hang the belt according to the marks on the crank and cam pulleys. Just make sure you use the right ones!
May 18, 200817 yr Author Wait, you can set the crank at TDC using a mark? (I did not mark it before I dis-assembled) I know the marks on the cams, but there is one on the crank? What is it and where does it line up? Many thanks Ryan
May 18, 200817 yr there is an triangular arrow on the crank sprocket....dont worry about that mark.....when your putting on your timing belt use the mark on the BACKSIDE of the crank sprocket.....DO NOT USE THE ARROW......... http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/2.2SingleOverWin01.pdf
May 18, 200817 yr Author Ok, to be clear. On the back side of the sprocket there are 3 little nubs. One of them is sort of behind the arrow. I should align that little nub with the small indentation on the block?

May 18, 200817 yr Author On further inspection, is it is a little indent in the back of the sprocket? The arrow ends up being about half way down, at 3 o'clock?

May 18, 200817 yr On further inspection, is it is a little indent in the back of the sprocket?The arrow ends up being about half way down, at 3 o'clock? You've got it. The arrows wind up at 45 degs clockwise (1:30 o'clock) on the cam sprockets, 90 degs clockwise (3:00 o'clock) on the crank sprocket.
