How To Align Camshaft To The Crankshaft
#4
some how engine grew 8 extra valves.
1995 Suzuki Sidekick 2WD 1.6L 16V MFI SOHC 4cyl (stock 2WD 1.6L 16V MFI SOHC 4cyl)

I changed the water pump and though I should change the timing belt while I had easy access. Put every thing back together. ( I did not touch distributor or wires)

No start! I admit that I rotated the camshaft and crankshaft independently in the process...dumb me! As a result, I want to re-align the crankshaft to the camshaft. I understand that the crankshaft and camshaft are align 12 o'clock but, by rotating them independently I completely screwed up the timing. I need to know that they are aligned properly.

Right now crankshaft and camshaft are at 12 o'clock and #1 valves are loose (closed) and #4 valves are tight. (open) The distributor point to cylinder #4. Is that the way it should be for a stock engine? No start!

What steps should I take to straighten everything out so that I can fire her up?
