Here is my problem, I checked timing belt on my car 4-5 times. The timing is correct. I checked it because before when I did the ignition timing with my timing gun. It would line up with the red mark; where there is 3 lines and the the white TDC marks on the pully. However, after the timing belt re…

So when I feel Air come out and the white tdc mark is right on the pointer that’s when I have it on tdc on the compression stroke ?

Are you kidding George? I had my whole arm sucked into the spark plug hole as I was turning the engine over by hand! Pleeeeeeeze! Tester

How does someone reverse the compression stroke

Would the engine run in that case, George? Tester

Which engine? On OP’s engine best to set it up according to the manufacturer’s procedure.

I’m checking the timing marks and then update you. So I only rotate the engine the way as if I was tighting a bolt right.

On some cars it’s possible to set up the valve timing (incorrectly). When that happens the crankshaft still turns, and the valves open and close, but the spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke instead of the compression stroke. On your car I think that would be done (again incorrectly) by position the word “up” on the camshaft pulley in the down position, rather than the up position.
