Hyundai Repair: Timing, hyundai tiburon, rear flange


Question
I am repacing the timing belt on a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon, how do I set the timing while doing this?

Answer
There's a small hole drilled in the camshaft sprocket that, when aligned to top dead center, will align with a notch in the front camshaft bearing cap.  When aligned, you'll be able to look through the small hole and see the notch.

The crankshaft sprocket has a dimple in the rear flange which aligns with a tit on the oil pump case.

The easiest way to do this is to turn the engine with the belt still on until all the marks align.  Then, all you'll need to do is make sure nothing moves while taking the timing belt off and installing the new belt.
