Hyundai Repair: 2002 Accent timing belt replacement, oil pump housing, timing belt replacement


Question
My 2002 1.5 Accent, after starting, jumped its timing and stalled.
I got as far as removing the timing cover and I can see where the timing belt teeth were stripped and the timing has obviously jumped.  I don't know about damage.

Question:  What is the procedure for lining  the timing marks with the crank sprocket and cam?  I have read to put the crank sprocket on tdc.  So then, how do I adjust the cam sprocket?
Thanks.

Answer
You'll need to remove the timing belt to move the camshaft independent of the crankshaft.  Make absolutely certain you do not attempt to start the engine prior to having a good timing belt installed and the cam and crank properly aligned.

The crank sprocket has a divot cut out of the rear flange.  This divot aligns with a tit on the oil pump housing.  

The cam sprocket has a small hole in it.  To align the cam, the hole should be aligned straight upward, and you should be able to look through the hole and see the small mark/cut in the front camshaft bearing cap.

I won't be terribly surprised if the above isn't all that clear.  If not, register for a free account at www.hmaservice.com (requires Internet Explorer).  Enter your year and model and go to the engine mechanical section of the shop manual.  In the timing belt section, you should be able to find diagrams of how to align your cam and crank.  Use caution when looking at the diagrams to make sure the diagram is for your engine.  Two engines were used in 2002, and the diagrams are not labeled as to which engine they pertain.
