Will I have to reset the timing?

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

No.

Resetting or realigning the timing is only required if you remove the timing belt. Removing the crank pulley (damper pulley) has no effect on the timing of the car, since the timing belt wraps around the crankshaft behind the actual pulley.
