I'm in an interesting sitch - having rebuilt my 16v 33 engine I've put the engine back in and timed the cams according to the instructions on
Now I've thought laterally, then read the instructions several (hundred!) times and then I tried moving the belts around a bit - this afternoon I moved the belt so that, with the 'V' (triangle) lined up in the hole above the engine, the two 'I' marks on the upper cambelt wheel were aligned with the single 'I' on the lower one. (I'd previously had the 2 'deltas' aligned with each other)
I tried the precautionary 'turn engine over with socket on the end of the crankshaft and it stopped turning over due to a mechanical contact. Hmm, - won't try to start it!
So, where do I go from here - can someone please advise me how I achieve the correct timing for cylinders 2 & 4? My car belongs on the road, not jacked up!
I assume the 'V' (triangle) on the flywheel is the one that is about 20 degrees from the TDC indicator on the flywheel, and when timing the belts originally, I timed 1 & 3 and then turned from the TDC mark to the 'V' mark and then set the timing for 2 & 4. Should I have turned the engine over 380 degrees or so to align it that way?
Many thanks
