Title: X20xev camshaft state...
Post by: jimjimanta on 29 January 2020, 20:33:39
I have a opel omega b with x20xev engine.
I recently repaired the engine .
Probably, I put the camshaft pulley  in the wrong place ...
The camshaft pulley have two states, lock with camshaft.
How are they going and how important is their position?

Pulley? I believe you mean the camshaft sprockets which confusingly are the same for both shafts. Each sprocket has a pair of position slots for the locating dowel, intake and exhaust. Assuming you have removed the sprockets from the shafts then the drawing here might (http://replace-timing-belt.com/how-to-replace-timing-belt-on-vauxhallopel-calibra-2-0i-16v-1993-1997_/) help to determine which position slot is for the intake camshaft and which for the exhaust camshaft,

The valve timing will be wrong if the sprocket dowels are incorrect.
