Inlet Camshaft Timing

[Ihtisham Rauf]

Hi,

Does this look correctly timed for TDC?

Yesterday my inlet was advanced by one tooth and it looks like I have sorted it.

I just loosed the inlet sprocket bolt, rotated the inlet sprocket anticlockwise by one tooth, and then rotated the inlet camshaft to match so that the dowel lined up with the hole on the inlet sprocket and then tightened everything up.

Rather have someone give the confirmation though before I put the cam cover back on.

Ideally Frank?


EDIT - the rain will start in about 30 min, so if no one replies, I'll just have to put the cam cover on and hope its all good. If its still wrong, then will have to redo it on saturday lol!

This is what it looked like BEFORE:

looks a bit retarded now eh, have you got 5 full links inside the dots ?

This is how mine looks. The dots are lining up with the intermediate bits between the chain links?

Seen one of your old posts, I need to turn the engine one full rotation so the dots line up with the male links rather than the female links?

 

[Ihtisham Rauf]

Yes 5 links in between

This is how the full setup looks:

should,nt matter if its male or female links really, and yes thats 5 full links eh
the 106 deg @ full lift makes a difference to the lobe position at tdc

Ah right okay sounds good.
Appreciate the help!

do you always check first with the plugs out and turn the crank ?

Yes I always do.

Plugs out, and then turn engine by hand to make sure no contact

And just drove it, no more rough idle (sad because no muscle car noise lol).

But it feels great to drive, starts up fine, and the powerband is amazing!

Thanks for the help!

Rather than starting a new thread...

Would my 250degree 9mm lift inlet camshaft be suitable for a CG10?

I have a buyer and he wants to put it on his CG10? (to be used for stock car racing, so its not a daily)

 

[frank]

yes
