I was working on my Honda Odyssey 2007 timing belt but the new belt was a bit too thick to get past the little lip above the rear cam sprocket. After a hour of frustration, I used the ratchet to turn the camshaft CW a tiny bit to see if I can slip the belt on the rear cam sprocket. Well, the cam sprocket advanced a full 60 degree instead. So now, my rear cam is no longer TDC sync with engine crankshaft. My question is, do I turn the cam sprocket 300 degree more CW to bring the cam mark to TDC again? This is a VCM version of the 3.5 J series engine, I don’t know if the camshaft resetting procedure is any different or not. The engine is not running at all, and it is the rear cam so I hope that there would be no damage by doing this to get the timing reset since the crankshaft is still TDC. First of all, I thought the hardest part was to get the crankshaft pulley bolt off for most Honda V6 engine but the belt reinstallation itself seems to be a big problem too. I’d appreciate any advice from Eric or anyone on this forum who has a Honda service manual on this matter.
