Default Cranked engine counter clockwise

Hi all!

I am in the proces of changing my timing belt, and when doing so cranked the engine counter clockwise. Stupid!

Now the timing marks are off by 1-2 teeth, and I suspect the belt has jumped a tooth or two. Am I screwed, or is there and easy fix?

All the best!

Well, getting the belt on the right teeth is just part of the process. Just take the belt back off and put it on correctly.

did you replace the tensioner when you did the belt? If not, its a good time to do it.
