There are plenty of Pics on the web of how to set up TDC on number one cylinder. Not sure what type of distributor you have, but it could have a notch(visible after removing the cap) around 8 O'clock. when the rotor arm lines up with this notch it is at TDC no.1.

That's why belts are much more likely to snap at idling speed than turning fast - at speed the tension is just a constant blur, but at idling it's a series of jerks. |

We were discussing this in my thread and it was said that the B200e was 'non-interference'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Redblock_Engine " All single camshaft versions of the engine with the exception of the K series (B200K, B230K) are of 'non-interference' design, meaning that failure of the toothed belt will not result in engine damage." I was unsure, and still am, as there is a lot of conflicting information |

This is because the 2.0 pistons have a dome on top of the crown but the 2.3 have a dished crown. |

In this case it will be best to treat the engine as interference.

Before you start make sure the timing marks line up. The bottom pulley can slip on the rubber. If it has spun then get a new one
B200 non turbo engines have a raised crown that will hit the valves. The turbo pistons are dished and do not have the problem. B230's are all dished. The B230K with 631 is the only B230 that bends valves |
