I have had my cousin (ex army mechanic) helping me a bit with my engine/service/update and he has been aware of my concerns regarding the timing belt going back on in the right place - and everything NOT going bang!!

Hence my care with NOT removing the belt from the crank sprocket, and carefully lining up and marking everything prior to taking off everything to be polished/chromed/powder coated etc.

 

:xxx::x: However, today he decided to stray a little from what I had asked him to do today (whilst I am at work), and he has removed the timing belt and I feel posibly faffed about with the position of the inlet/exhaust cranks as well!!!

:mad: :eek:

I have lots of photo's (change management - you can't keep a good ITIL expert down)... but I am still pooing my pants - so question:

 

If you were given an engine without a timing belt, and you have no timing marks/crank position data to work with - what is the process/how would you get everything on song/lined up for the belt to go on etc.?

 

And no big bang! :confused::mad:

Jeff, Superstar - that is brilliant!

 

Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this for me and the many other meembers who will benefit.

I have a couple of questions that I will fire off later as I need to take a couple of pictures first so...

 

Many thanks again.

Jeff,

 

Are there any checks I can do to confirm everything is in the right place - like checking for TDC of the firing sequence?

And is the sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6 - or 1,3,5-2,4,6

 

Reason I ask is because everything has been chromed and some of the marks are difficult to confirm now everything has been moved around.

 

Andy

I had mine chromed and being a twat did not know anything about these marks, just wanted them silver!

 

Anyhows I have had a look at them and the two thin cogs with five bolt holes, have a semi circular notch cut out the front of them right above the centre hole where ther are three holes together.

 

Also the two thicker cogs have a red dot punched on the side directly above the slot in the centre, does anyone have some off the car with marks on to check against?.

 

I can post some pics if that helps?
