help please
I am working on my 2000 dodge stratus for the timing belt.
The timing belt shreded because of the plastic shield rubbing on it.
I got a new one and am trying to replace it, but how do I know when the marks all line up that the number 1 piston is on the TDC comprssion stroke and not on the top of the exhaust stroke?
I would hate to find out after putting everything together that I have to rotate the crakshaft 180 degrees, and if the crank is off 180 degrees would the engine start? thanks for any help.

I know that the 2.5 is interference, so if it's off by 180, your smashing things together if you try to start it...
