AlexJames Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hey Guys, After fitting a new front end on the water pump today and some of the cams have moved without the crank moving... So I am guess I need to re-allign them all before I turn her over electronically? I have had a few searches here on this but I cant seem to find anything useful about setting the timing? Any help?

Theres a bit of informations on the cambelt change write up in the faq section. Basically just set it all to TDC, there are alignment marks on the wheels for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 It only goes on one way Agreed, I've never done it but would guess its keyed, i.e. It'll only go on one way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
