You can usually feel it bottom out as you are installing it. After the pulleys are installed, you can put the belt on and see if all pulleys are aligned.
yes, you can "stop" the Crystal Core by collecting all the Crystal Core Dampener pieces and saving all the critters
The best way to get an accurate answer for the crankshaft timing on a Reanult Clio Diesel 1991 is to look in the service manuel. That should tell exactly how to set the timing.
The crankshaft itself will turn the opposite way to the bolt.
you could tell by the way he acts and how he is around you like flirtting or all on you ASK HIM!

In older cars that used a distributor, the distributor shaft was connected to the camshaft. The camshaft was connected to the crankshaft. So as they all turned, the spark would fire in direct correlation to the crankshaft. Once they eliminated the distributor, the computer needed a way to determine when to fire the spark. So they place a sensor near the end of the crankshaft and it reports the crankshaft position to the computer. So the computer can know when to fire the spark for each cylinder.
A way to tell if the Crankshaft Position has gone bad is if the engine has a strong kick (Turnover) but, does not fire or start.my 2000 Hyundai accent will not catch fire
Remove the center nut, often you'll need to use an impact wrench so plan on getting other stuff out of the way. Borrow, rent or buy a wheel puller. There should be a couple threaded holes in the dampener pulley for you to connect the puller. The puller should easily remove the dampener pulley for you. Good luck.
A trained ear could here them while the engine is running. The only way to know for sure is to tear the engine down and check them with a mike.
You could take the crankshaft out of the engine with the engine still in the car, but it would be a lot more work, and make it much more difficult to keep the bearing surfaces clean. Also, the transmission would still have to be disconnected from the engine so you could gain access to the back of the crankshaft. While it CAN be done, it's not generally accepted practice. It's conceivable that you could disconnect the torque converter (assuming it's an automatic transmission), remove the rod bearing caps, taking care to keep them with the same rod bearing and also keeping them oriented to go back on the same way they came off. Then pull the dampener pulley from the front of the crankshaft. Then remove the front timing chain cover and pull the timing chain, then you can theoretically pull the main bearing caps (again, keep them oriented right to left and keep each cap in the same position) and drop the crankshaft. The problem is, this doesn't allow you to check the cylinders for taper or to check the rod bearings for out of round. If your engine has enough of a problem that you need to drop the crankshaft, you should probably inspect other parts too.
