I have replaced water pump and did not have the correct tool to keep timing gears at TDC, and have lost the proper timing. How do I fix this? Thank you.

The only way to fix it is to run through the timing process that I will attach below.

Here is a guide that will help with basic info:

I am attaching the info below on how to do this so let's run through this process and make sure the timing is correct. If you don't have the tool, then you are going to have to order one off the internet and use it so that you can be sure it is timed properly.

Please run through this and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
