1st way
Park the manual transmission vehicle on a level surface and shift into 5th gear. Push the car forward or backward.
2nd way
Four-cylinder petrol engine
1. Install a 22mm socket wrench onto the alternator pulley center bolt nut and rotate the engine with the V-belt.
If the V-belt is slipping, use one hand to push the V-belt between both of its pulleys to give it the best tension (see illustration).
Five-cylinder petrol engine
2. Install a 24 wrench on the alternator pulley center bolt nut and turn the engine in the same way as a four-cylinder (see illustration).
Six-cylinder petrol engine
3. Insert a 24 hexagon socket wrench into the head of the belt pulley center bolt on the crankshaft and turn the crankshaft using a ratchet or pry bar (see illustration).
Diesel engines
4. Put a 24mm socket wrench with a ratchet on the nut of the central bolt securing the alternator pulley and turn the engine with a ribbed belt.
Caution: Do not attempt to crank the engine with the toothed belt guard removed by the camshaft timing belt gear bolt. The toothed belt may jump and result in engine damage.
For four-stroke engines, the piston goes to TDC twice during four strokes. Once this happens when the air-fuel mixture is ignited, and the second time it happens when the exhaust gases are released with the simultaneous intake of the air-fuel mixture. Usually, when performing adjustment work, the TDC of the piston of cylinder No. 1 is used.
Four- and five-cylinder petrol engines
5. Remove the cover separating the breaker from the ignition distributor, as well as the distributor slider and the protective cover.
6. Install the distributor slider in place and rotate the crankshaft until the slider contact is above the small notch on the distributor edge. This will be the TDC of the piston of cylinder No. 1.
7. Make sure the piston is set to TDC. If so, then mark «ABOUT» on the flywheel should come out halfway from the edge of the inspection hole on the gearbox housing. Move the crankshaft slightly forward or backward if necessary (see arrow in illustration).
Six-cylinder petrol engine
8. Remove the left and right parts of the toothed belt guard, see the relevant chapter.
9. Rotate the crankshaft until the larger holes in the lock plates of the gears of both camshafts face the center of the engine (see arrow in illustration).
10. Make sure the piston is set to TDC. If so, then mark «0» on the flywheel should come out halfway from the edge of the inspection hole on the gearbox housing. If necessary, feed the crankshaft a little forward or backward (see arrow in illustration 5.7). Another mark for the installation of the piston of cylinder No. 1 of the six-cylinder gasoline engine is located on the ribbed belt pulley or on the lower toothed belt guard (see arrows in illustration 5.10).
11. Remove the cylinder head cover.
12. Turn the engine by hand so that both front camshaft cams are facing up.
13. Make sure the piston is set to TDC. If so, then mark «0» on the flywheel 1 must come out from under the reference mark 2 of the inspection hole on the gearbox housing (see illustrations).
