Also a timing belt rarely ever jumps and if it does it will remove other teeth off the belt in the process and 99 times out of 100 it will cause valve to piston contact
hope this helps

thanks very much, was just reading the haynes man, and it states that them to marks should be bang on in the middle of the v-marks on the case, so if the bottom crank was in line and no 1 piston is at the top of the stroke, and the rotor arm points to no1 on the cap then why would it be just over a tooth, so are we saying then that as above ie crank- piston no1 -arm at no1 are we saying the timing isnt out. just trying to find out why the car trys to restart sometimes when you turn it off, its done it b4 and smoke came from under bonnet, when i unclipped the air filter lid and lifted the filter the white smoke came out of there and it smelt off fuel.
