1993 ls timing belt broke due to idler pulley bad HELP with cam ali
been to lexls and has great instructions for install but want to know about cam adjustment. How do I know if/or the cam will be 180 off when installing new belt.
I understand the timing marks and can find top dead center but thinking about cam, is it possible to to get this messed up or should i be safe knowing 2 rev of crank equal to one rev of cams so should not be a problem, meaning no way of goofing up cam as long as it lines up.

Ditto what Och says. I just changed my timing belt on my own last week. Lots of good info in the attached links.

The exact thing happened to me and i printed out the article on lexls.com and followed it and my car runs like a champ and surprisingly found everything instock at oreilly's from the timing belt kit with pulleys, the tensionor, to the water pump (all of which you should replace while you're there). Spent about $500 or so. The write up on lexls.com is awesome and has every detail and pics of everything.
