How To: Correct jumped timing...
Step 1: remove #1 coil/plug and position #1 cylinder at tdc on the compression stroke.
Step 2: Remove upper half of engine mount, and anything else that might get in the way of step 3
Step 3: Remove tensioner inspection cover.
Step3: Compress and lock tensioner, then remove it.
Step 4: Using a 19mm socket, rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise until you hear the chain skip a tooth.
Step 5: Re-install everything and verify correct ignition timing and vacuum reading
This only applies if you skipped timing upon initial cranking, and only if it skipped on the crank sprocket, but I believe that's where it skips everytime.
