You need to know if you are on top dead center on the compression stroke for
the back cylinder. And, if you temporarily put the distributor cap back on does the distributor
rotor line up with where the wire, if attached to the cap would feed the back cylinder from
the rotor and through the cap. You don't just line up the cog marks and then start up the engine. While the
idler/tensioner wheel is still free to move and controlled by the spring, you rotate the crank when now linked
to the cam by the belt a couple cycles in the proper direction with a 17mm socket on the crank bolt. Then you freeze the
idler/tensioner wheel tensioning motion. If your timing marks on the cogs are still right, you are good to put it
all back together.
