Ford: 95 Ford Escort LX 1.9L SEFI crankshaft rotation and camshaft

just did that job today, is the tensioner on?
should turn crank and cam at 1/2 of crank.
are you putting a new water pump on it?
i would suggest it. see my post from earlier this evening.
why hassle having to do a pump soon.

Drive belt tensioner off. Crankshaft pulley is on.
 
I turned the crankshaft pulley damper bolt 2 rounds using 19mm but the
camshaft sprocket is not rotation. I dont know its important to align
the camshaft sproket and crankshaft pulley at this time while removing
the crankshaft pulley to change the timing belt. After removing the
timing belt make sence to me. appreicate someone shed light here.
 
Yes. putting new water pump and if I had time and feel lucky planning
to change the crankshaft sprocket - oilpump seal and oil pan gasket
also.
 

i didnt have to remove the pully from the crank to get the new belt on, i
did just to clean it up and check for oil seal leak.
is the cam belt tensioner installed with the new water pump?
if so cam should turn.
is the pan gasket leaking?
mine had a little seepage but i call that external block

WHAT?

Why dont you LOOK at it and figure out why it doesnt move?

I think either you or Haynes have got a step out of sequence.

BEFORE you put the belt on and set the tensioner, you have to align the crank
and cam COGGED pulleys to their respective marks

THEN you rotate them AFTER the belt is tight, WITH tensioner, 2 turns to
insure the timing marks still are aligned

Dont call it DRIVE belt, call it timing belt.

I see the steering pump hose joining with the pump got a wetness from
oilseepage or leak and a film of oil on the underside of oilpan, also
a few droplet of green af liquid on the garage floor since I stoped to
change the belt. Though I never suspect any excess of drop in either
oil or af liquid level

It would seem you are just STARTING to replace the belt, and have not yet
removed it? The belt has missing teeth, that is why the cam is not turning. The
engine is a free-wheeling engine, so just remove the belt and time the engine,
then install the new belt.

Thank you. I went ahead and removed the crankshaft pulley and timing
belt. I found the timing belt is missing 8 tooth. I Will align the
crankshaft sproket, and camshaft sprokets with TDC before installing
the new timing belt.

Whats the easiest way to find the TDC Compression on the first spark
plug? Shoudl I rent something like the Compression gauge with the
spark plug adapter?

Appreciate any help.
