Ok I know this has been cover more than enough times but I'm still in desperate need of help!
I've got a striped timming and hoping to change as soon as I get the part as I need the car for work. But the problem is
I have limited tools and knowledge of changing a timing belt. Just wondering if anyone in the ryde area can possibly come round and help guide me through it?
I apologize if this is the wrong section to ask but I'm on my phone and hardly anything loadsm

Cheers, jamie

ok well timming belts on, wasnt too hard. but now i need to get it all aligned properly.
i made sure everything was tdc but it seems to have no compression and theres 2 differnet teeth marked on each cam gear so im hoping ive just used the wrong one as top dead centre. if not then i think im screwed!

there may be 2 timing marks on the head too look around,(line both marks up)

but becuase of this reason, i always make my own marks its alot more fail safe
