i think the exhaust cam will be ok as its not to far off, will the inlet cam if the tdc marking is 90 deg after TDC be ok to just turn it anticlockwise back to TDC.I worried it might flip.
Think i might of mucked up here.Ive not rotated them or torqued up the sprockets fully.Crank has been at 90 deg BTDC all the way through take it best thing to do is release caps slowly repostion cams with sprockets on to TDC then refit on both.Help lol
Hi everybody,just a quick one on my 2.2 with the belt off, the cams went back on so there wasnt much pressure on them, this has left the TDC positions on each with the exhaust cam about 15 Deg after TDC and the inlet is 90 Deg after TDC.The crank is 90 Deg BTDC.Obviously i need them back at tdc is it ok to rotate anti clockwise to perform this to obtain alignment.Is this ok to rotate anticlockwise Many Thanks
Got it out used center punch to put slight hole in it knocked it round with a cold chisel then hammered a torx bit in it Lol.How does it line up on some photos i took before taking it apart it looks like the little raised bit on it sits at 11 oclock Is this right.Many thanks all nice one
Hi peeps,All seems to be going well so far,bit lost on refitting cam and sprockets. The book of lies states that sprockets should be set with no 1 cylinder lobes upwards and that timing marks on sprockets should be 4 teeth before tdc.Is this right if so wont it be difficult to return sprockets to tdc marks.Is it also ok to torque each cam without locking tool in place.Whats the best way to do this.Thanks for all your input so far, a biq learning experience!
