Polaridoo Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I am in the middle of replacing my timing belt on my 1993 Subaru Legacy with the 2.2. But have a question about the crank timing marks. On the crankshaft sprocket (that slides on the crank) it has a triangle on one of the teeth - is this the mark that is supposed to point to 12 o'clock? When I look at my repair manual and this site it seems that there is another mark that is supposed to point to 12 o'clock - if that is the case, I am not seeing it. Also, outside of popping off the valve cover, is there any easy way to see if I am at TDC on compression or exahust stroke? Thanks for the help.

Polaridoo Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 OK, I think I see it now. It looks like that triangle has nothing to do with alignment. The actual timing mark is one of the ears protruding off the crank sprocket. I will just have to look more closely to see which one of those has the actual mark. Thanks for great link and your help.

JeffF Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I can only find the triangle on one of the teeth which is not correct, but I cannot see any other marks anywhere. What is the mark that you have painted white on the cam gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Just point the keyway to 6 o-clock. The mark will be on the tooth directly under the crank sensor. GD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffF Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Found it, it is a line on one of the 3 or 4 ears on the back of the crank sprocket. After aligning that it started right up. I had been using the triangle mark on one of the teeth and could not figure out why it would not start. Thank you for posting this same issue.
