Default timing issues on 93 LS 400

So here is the skinny, I am doing my fan bracket. Getting ready to put every thing back together. I marked the crank shaft with the mark on the engine. what else do I have to do. I know when I tried to remove the crank pulley nut, I turned the engine over a couple times. should I be worried. Was I suspose to mark the timing belt to make sure that goes back in the same spot. Iam a lil worried. Anybody have any knowledge in the area???

The '93 1UZ is a non-interference engine, so nothing was damaged when you turned the engine over.

with the keyway slot, it only goes on one way, stick it on... your engine is fine, like thomas said.

You made sure to align the timing belt marks with the mark on each cam pulley also, right?

As long as you make sure everything is lined up when putting it back together, everything should be fine when you start it up. If not, as stated above it's a non interference engine. Just do it all again and make sure it's lined up.
