Hello, Did the timing belt on my 2000 Camry with the 5SFE engine on it. Had the cam and crank aligned with the markings but foolishly didn't ensure top dead center on cylinder 1.
So to fix this, would it be 1 revolution on the crank or cam? Pretty much just align both marks and ensure cylinder 1 is at TDC?
Thanks.

1 turn of crank

Not familiar with the Toyota 5SFE engine in particular (I was a Honda guy back when I was a mechanic) but yes you are correct in that it SHOULD be that you align the cam/crank markings with piston one at TDC....make sure to hand crank the engine before starting to make sure your not slapping valves🤙
Noninterference engine, so good on that
Update: did this and got it running. Thanks!
