Chris a manual is a good idea.

Chris a manual is a good idea...but if it doesnt have a problem dont touch it...there are no wearing parts that would change the timing.

BUY A FACTORY MANUAL

I could have posted pics, but lets say you played with them, overtightened the belt, it snapped, no you have a junked head

so that is why i said it"

"Again, your post does nothing to help me. Sometimes, its nice just to help people. I asked if anyone could help me locate the timing marks on this engine, you could not, so please.....stop trying to help me, with al due respect."
 
Chris JIT is correct a factory

Chris JIT is correct a factory service manual is handy when doing this. OE# is 99500-99E11-01E

To just chk the the base marks to see if timing has jumped is pretty simple. Remove the plastic shroud that covers the timing belt. The pulley mounted to the crankshaft under the flywheel will have a punch mark at the bottom locate this mark to the index mark directly behind the crankshaft on the block. Removing the spark plugs will make it easier to turn the engine by hand. And removing the flywheel will make easier to see the marks. Now the camshaft pulley should have four marks or dots on top #1 should align with index mark on crankcase (this mark is in front of the cam looking toward crankshaft) when the crankshaft mark is aligned if it is on the correct stroke.

If the timing belt is that loose Chris than something is wrong. Rotate the engine over to see if the marks described above line up correctly. I have seen the crankshaft retainer pulley nut back off and wear the heck out of the crankshaft timng pulley keyway and inside dia becomes excessive thus causing a sloppy belt. Tensioner could have taken a dump too. Chk outside of belt for scuff marks and wear. Also you can look for aluminum dust between the cam and crankshaft lying on the block it's a dead give away as to what is happening.

I assume no liabilty for offering you this advice please purchase a factory service manual before attempting to repair or take it to your local Authrozied Suzuki dealer.

Hope this helps you out Chris.

Thanks again."
