One other item when you took off the timing belt did you mark which way it was rotating (you may still have it on the lower crank pully) make sure to reinstall so that it stays in the same rotaional direction. If you took it off and did not mark it, replace it. If you are not sure of its age replace it. If you have any hesitiation about it replace it. Did I mention about replacing it!  . |
The timing belt has about 20 on it and is rotating the same way.
No worries.
