I am trying to change my timing belt on my 1994 prelude vtec, and somehow ended up with the cams and the crank out of alignment. My cams were close to TDC on #1 but I could not see the mark on my flywheel. Any way I took the belt off at this time and moved the crank to the 270° mark and moved the cams into TDC. I figure if I move my crank to the 360° mark it should be ok. Well, guess again, I still cannot see the mark on the flywheel which tells me my crank is a full rotation out of sync with the cams. As a lot of people advise I broke the crank pulley bolt loose b/4 opening my valve cover,(in case you cannot get it loose you can take it to a shop). When I was putting the bolt back to turn the car into TDC, I turned the engine clockwise a little by accident and I think that is when the belt jumped. Is there something I can do to get my crank to TDC without taking the cams off? I do not want to take a chance of bending any valves.
Thank you for any advice
PS. yes I am a dumbass.
