Good morning,

in step 16 you ask to put the marks correctly, but in the photo we see that the mark is in TDC and is not aligned with the timing system...

is this a mistake or not?

THANKS

Hello, the BTR key must be turned counterclockwise to be able to tighten the belt, and align the arrow with the mark, that's all.

Hello, very good tutorial. However, is it normal that the arrow indicating the direction of rotation indicates an anti-clockwise direction, except that the tension on this model is done in the clockwise direction, indicated by an arrow on the tensioner roller. Thanks in advance

How to make two engine turns while the pins are in place.

Or the order is wrong in the operations.
