      I was doing the timing belt on my 2005 Honda Odyssey. I noticed that the back cam pulley was off TDC by about a tooth, I thought that I’d be able to wiggle it over just that hair and be fine. I tried to rotate it and it jumped about 15 degrees. I’m freaking out right now and really need help on what I need to do now to fix this situation.

        Just move it back where it needs to be, it happens all the time to me don’t sweat it.

          So I can actually move the cams independently of each other without damaging anything?

            Kinda, just turning the cam independent of the crank may make the valves contact the piston but its not moving in the same manner and force as it would if the engine was running. You can just move the cam back to its original position moving it back in the direction it came. So if it rotate right 15 degrees move it back left to line back up or vise versa. don’t roll it all the way around.

                Hopefully this is my final question. It appears that the belt slipped a little off of the rear cam after I released the tensioner and manually cranked the engine. How do I correct this situation?

                  Make sure your crank gear is pushed all the way forward and try pushing on the belt at the cam gear as you rotate the engine. If that doesn’t work i would say take the tensioner off and reset everything making sure the belt is centered and the crank gear is pushed all the way back. It shouldn’t walk off like that just by turning the engine over by hand
