I've been reading up alot on replacing my timing belt ('98 4 cylinder), and I've also found and read Cris'pus's post, but I still have a question or two.

i have read that:

"If one cam is slighty out, you can use a 1" wrench on the cam (the areas not round) to get the metal strip to fit."

Do you turn the cam like this with the original belt still on? I didn't think it would turn with the belt on and the sprockets not loose.

Also, when might I have to loosen the cam shaft
sprocket(s).
I've read about it, but I'm still a little confused as to when and exactly why the sprocket would need to be loosened.

I really want to do this job, but I wanna make sure I get it right.
Thanks in advance! -Peter
