    3. Set No.1 cylinder to approximately 60° BTDC/ compression.
      1. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.
        NOTE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
