I am about to start prepping the 1JZ I bought to do the timing belt/water pump/seals/gaskets service on it and I was looking through various walkthroughs about doing the timing belt job. They say to set the timing mark on the crank pulley at 0 degrees or whatever the setting was (haven't looked at them in a while) and verify the marks on the cam gears match the marks on the back half of the timing belt cover. The Driftmotion crank pulley doesn't have any marks to line up with the timing marks on the lower timing belt cover, at least not that I can see.

Since there's only one way a crank pulley can go on due to the woodruff key, I suppose I can just swap out the Driftmotion pulley with the ATI Superdamper I bought off a Supra guy, since it'll only go on one way, then use the marks on that to line up with the timing belt cover marks....I just wanted to ask you guys to make sure my theory was correct before I did anything and got the engine all out of time.

 

thats what i would suggest. Just line up the cams for now and remove the DM pulley then install the ati and line it up.

 

Pulling off an ati for a dm crank pulley is the most retarded thing I've heard all year.
