can someone tell me how to adjust timing on a geo metro 1996
The timing marks on a 1993 Geo Metro are located on the on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. They must be aligned together to ensure proper initial timing.
To line up the timing belt on a 1994 Geo Metro, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the number one cylinder. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys; the crankshaft mark should be at the 0-degree position, and the camshaft mark should align with the indicator on the engine. Once aligned, place the timing belt over the pulleys, ensuring it is taut and properly seated in the grooves. Finally, double-check the alignment before reassembling any components.
That depends on whether you're lining up 2 timing belt pulleys to the timing marks or lining up water pump/alternator/crankcase pulleys Mr Geo Metro leehduncan@verizon.net
To set the timing on a 1991 Geo Metro, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing indicator on the engine block. Use a timing light to check the timing while the engine is running; adjust the distributor slightly if necessary to align the timing mark with the specified degree for your engine model. Finally, recheck the timing after any adjustments to ensure accuracy.
There should be a mark on your crankshaft pulley and several marks on the lower timing cover. You may have to clean them off in order to see them.

my book says 5 degrees BTDC
on the balencer there is a timing mark and om the motor theres a tab there is also a mark on the cam gear, when lined up, both marks on the crank gear and cam gear point up.
If you're wanting to set the timing on your car, there's a notch in the pulley on the harmonic balancer and a timing tab on the timing cover. Check your label under the hood for the proper setting. If you're replacing the timing belt, you must have #1 cylinder at top dead position on the compression stroke. You have a timing mark on the cam sprocket that must line up with the v notch on the cam seal cover. Your lower sprocket has a mark that must line up with the mark on the front cover. Buy a Haynes repair manual. They have excellent pictures of these marks and how they must line up.
