installing the timing belt wrong can be seen more on DOHC engines than SOHC engines. If it's a 1 to 10 degree differnce, it might start but a little bit late. if it is more than around 10 degrees both intake and exhast valves will hit the pistons continously and they will bend or chip apart. You will hear them easly (metal to metal), so its realy important to be 0 dgree off set. All three shafts (crank and cam shafts) must be at 0 dgree off set harmony. When cranking the engine and after that, the exhaust will be be louder, the engine will vibrate, if you touch the camshaft cover you will feel it, idling will be low or high, acceleration will be poor, and there will be 5 to 12% rich fuel consumption.
