timing question

i recently installed the rrm underdrive pully on my 04 ralliart and i was wondering if it might have changed my timing by a little bit...because once i was almost done installing it...i accidently rotated the pulley 360 degrees without the belt on while i was bolting it down...could this be a problem?...i know i did a stupid mistake..but can you guys please help me out before this could turn out to be a problem.. thanks

You'll be fine. The timing is controlled by another belt.

Yeh the RRM pulley kit only affects the alt/wp/ps/ac etc. Engine timing is controlled by the belt that is "hidden" under the black plastic cover on the same side of the engine as the belt you just replaced. you can pull the cover off and have a look - nothing overly exciting but.

The only way you could've affected timing is if you rotated the engine backwards when taking the old pulley off. But, since you were tightening (clockwise) you spun the engine in the proper direction, so no issue.
