Timing Question

Post by 70spider »

Hello, as some of you know from my other post on valves I am in the process of changing out a bad cam. However, during the task I noticed when I aligned the cam wheels the crank pulley mark was off, it was below the third mark on the belt cover. When I replaced the belt last year I struggled with keeping the crank pulley still while I tried to put the belt on. So I think this one is on me. Now my question is with the cam wheels locked in place can I rotate the crank pulley to its proper position?
