Hello Friends
Im from portugal and im a vitara fan. Your forum is one of the best sources of suzuki info.
recently i started to recondition my hardtop 1996 3door blue vitara G16b.
it has 140000km and i didnt know what service the previous owner had done to it so i started changing the timing belt and water pump. My problem started when after disassemble all surroundings and removing sparkplugs i could not set the TDC marks bt 2 notch because a very strong resistance with spring effect. Or in other words, when i was reaching the tdc rotating the cranck CW i feel a spring effect that reverse my rotation and didnt allow me to reach the perfect tdc.
Have any of you ever had similar problem?
Thansk for your help
