Hi guys!
Does anyone have a service manual or something that could tell me how to properly replace the cambelt on my Fiesta 1.8D? I have replaced it already only to find myself in the position of being able to start the engine only if I push the car. After it starts seems to be running smoothly....????
I cannot see any sign on the camshaft sprocket and I have aligned the new belt by counting the dents.....HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!

Mate says your pump timing is out. You gotta make sure all this is correct or you running a really high risk of doing some serious damage to your engine.

Would the engine run fine if the cambelt wasnt fitted correctly?
