2.3 timing - aux. sprocket??? 1989
Here is a picture of my engine. The aux. sprocket has a timing point on it (look for the red "X"), does that align with anything for proper timing? I have a '95 Ford service manual and it shows on a '95 Ranger 2.3 there is a timing mark on the cover that aligns with the diamond shaped mark on the aux. sprocket. I just want to be sure that my '89 does or does not get aligned with any other mark? I disturbed the sprocket when I accidentally rotated it with the belt off.
Thanks,

As near as I can determine from reading about camshaft timing and belt installation in my '91 Ranger Truck Shop Manual, the key step reads: "Position the crankshaft sprocket to align with the TDC mark and the camshaft sprocket to align with the camshaft timing pointer." I do not find any reference to aligning the auxiliary sprocket with anything, even though your picture shows a mark on that sprocket. It looks like Ford used the same sprocket on the camshaft and auxiliary shaft.
I'd say, "Don't worry about it."
