I bought a low range torque wrench just so I could do the service involving the belt change as i was told the bolts are quite fragile.

Good luck - Frank

notwithstanding the lack of need re the timing mark - does anyone have aphoto of the tdc mark on their flywheel?
it is bugging me!

Hmmm.....cant find a piccy and the diagram from the WSM I have isnt clear either.

Ahhh...just checked the Haynes manual - they are just like punched marks on the edge of the flywheel, it shows the first of the two marks together being TDC, next is firing point at idle then after a space a third 'dot' for firing point at full advance.

From memory my engine must of been apart at some time as I believe there is white paint on one of the marks.

Good luck - Frank

NB - here is the best Website for mtce info and on this page - belt adjustment:

there are three marks pertaining to each piston- two marks for the pick up coil marks

you;ll find two dots that are very close together - one is slightly larger than the one next to it - this is the TDC the next one about 7-8mm awayturning flywheel anticlockwise is tickover firing point -the next one is the firing point full chat-hope this makes sense
