You are correct the cam sensor/crank sensor will "sense" the correct cam ignition phase if the belt is broken and the cams are put back in either "TDC" setting as far as #1.
This one line answered the only real question that I had. The rest is cake and easy to determine. Now lets keep in mind here that my only real question could be answered in only a few words. My original question was a very simple one.
You want me to take you at face value but you never once considered my question at face value. Your answer was do a search here, and I did before I asked the question. Your second answer was do a search somewhere else. Well why would I do that? I came "here" not somewhere else. Not to mention that I spent a good amount of time searching in several locations, including plain google searches, there was however no answer that made sense 100% as to my specific question. I am not new to searching the internet but this one point wasn't netting me the results that I wanted. Your third answer was, Buy my how-to video. It seems you edited that original response.....
I wish I could say that I was sorry to you but I cannot. Not out of principle or because I cannot admit when I am wrong, but because I am not sorry. I said "sell his crap" not "This crappy video." Which I will agree is just simple semantics and can be taken a couple of different ways and illicit several emotions and/or responses. I do not know a thing about your video and cannot make a call about how good it is or is not; that I will admit. BUT, you were indeed trying to sell me your crap. I got some crap to, do you wanna buy it? *much of it is very useful, but it's still crap* I never once needed a how-to and I never asked for it. I am not retrofitting the space shuttle with extra booster rockets. I am changing a timing belt on a car without a distributor cap.
If I had never posted here at this site, my car would still be running because I figured it out for myself. I asked the question here more-or-less to ensure something that I was already aware of. Tell "Me" to "learn how to read", go back and read my original post *carefully*, you will notice that I guessed the answer before I knew unequivocally.
In response to your name calling and arrogance well if it makes you feel better then have it. I am stupid, retarded, and lazy yep yep. I knew in advance that the engine was non-interference and I couldn't mess it up so I didn't mind having to reset the timing if I didn't get it right the first time, really it only takes a couple minutes to do so.
If I pushed your buttons and got you upset, oh well. Just remember, you aren't the only one with buttons. So what if I may or may not a problem with ebay, it's full of crap (you have looked around that place haven't you?) So now I am sitting here wondering why you have a bug in your bum, you took me in a manner that I never meant. I took you in a manner that you never meant. You wont apologize, neither will I. You will defend your stance and so will I.
I do NOT know a single thing about you at all, well perhaps a little more now. Your original answer could have been "yep the sensors take care of firing order" (instead of the distributor of course) That could have been the end of this thread. You made an assumption about my abilities so I responded in the same exact manner. I made an assumption about why you responded to me in the way you did.
Just so you know exactly what I was thinking: 1. You are trying to get me to sign up at your message board, 2. you think I am to lazy to search this site, 3. You only want to sell me something, 4. If he had the answer why not just post a simple link instead of me having to sign up at another message board to use the search feature.
These are not unreasonable thoughts at all, especially when you consider how often this type of crap happens. Notice how one thought plays on the other. I can't search the other site without signing up for yet another message board, so why not just toss out a link???? You didn't call me lazy for not searching ebay for the video - heck no - you provided a direct link for that.
So there you have it, my full reasoning and a bunch of rambling that wont make a difference in anyone's life at all.
I still love you man.
