      Timing Belt replacement on my 1989 Acura Legend 2.7L. Cam Pulley’s lined up when I took belt off, now the rear pulley is off by 7-tooth. Any suggestions are appreciated. If I get cylinder 1 to TDC, does it matter if the pulley is off?? Got to keep this warhorse on the road.

        Not sure how useful this information is at this point, but you can just put a ratchet on it and spin it back. 7 teeth is a lot, so just spin it around until it lines up again. It’s much better to potentially hit the valves on the cylinders at ratchet speed than at 1500rpm.
