labrat Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Well, if it's a stock unit installed with stock timing, line the dots up. Cam at 6 o'clock and crank at 12 o'clock. Some aftermarket timing gears allow you to install the cam advanced or retarded, but I figure the cam grinders know more about this stuff than me, so I install them straight up...

"Some aftermarket timing gears allow you to install the cam advanced or retarded" that can cause problems in that those cam and crank gears are marked in three places be sure your lineing up the (0) not the triangle or square and that the cam (pin) is at the 2 o,clock possition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
