Ensure the timing is set on the correct revolution, 1st cylinder piston should be top dead center, with the inlet valve closed and outlet valve towards opening. Timing mark on pulley should be at center or at 0 (zero).
If engine has a mechanical distributor, the rotor should be pointing towards the number 1 spark lead, in the correct firing order.
Ensure valve clearances are correct while cold. Then readjusted when warm.
a 1994 Toyota Celica GT has a timing belt.
All 1995 Celica's are fitted with timing belts.
no
They don't have timing chains
The 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 2000 Toyota Celica has a timing CHAIN
after replacing points in engine, can correct timing be done to engine if engine is not run.
It's actually a timing chain, not a belt. I have been told countless times that the chains will last the life of the engine.
Most likely you did not align properly the mark, it causes the engine to have wrong timing as result the engine knocks.
Have you tried looking on the engine block and on the harmonic balancer?
Then the engine will not run
There is no maintenance schedule for replacing a timing chain. Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine and are normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild.
This engine does not have a timing belt, it is gear-driven. Possibly, you have broken gear teeth, causing the timing to be out of order.
