rotate it whichever way you have to. if it skips a tooth it's because
you have other problems with the tensioner. when you shut off the car,
you can bet the engine rotates a few degrees backward.

you have the timing belt a tooth retarded, you can pull the
upper cover, slide the belt off rotate the cam and slide the belt back
on. i've done it for a lot of people who have had this problem.

I've seen some pretty loose belts, some so loose they make black dust on
the underside of the cam cover.

Yeah, that makes sense. Don't know about Hondas, but when Toyotas strip the
teeth off their belts, it tends to happen when the engine is shut down and
kicks back a bit.

Another myth bites the dust?
