Don't need to remove that to do a timing belt and yes that little dot is the timing mark you like up with the intermediate shaft mark

The only thing I didn't cover very well in this video is to ensure that the little dot in the cam sprocket is facing up when you set the timing.
Cool!!
what can I do if I don't have th tensioner tool?
And is it normal, when turning the cam sprocket, for the wheel to kind of "spring" between positions? Like it can only be in 6 different positions.

thanks guys!
That's totally normal. I would add that I bet I could provide enough tension for the belt by hand if I could get my hand in there well enough. Just a bit is all you need. When you're done you should be able to fairly easily twist the front side of the belt between the cam and int. shaft sprockets 90*.
Sweet, thanks guys. All done. She runs great!
Glad to hear it. Thanks for the update.
You are now smarter than you were yesterday.
I'll add, it only has to come off if the seal is leaking, its usually a good idea to do it on a higher mileage engine.
