how do I time cam and crank with marks?

serge · Jan 19, 2015

I finaly found my mark ( a dot on the gear) on my crank gear
I already also have one on the cam gear and this gear only fit one way on the camshaft so I brought piston 4 TDC remove the cam gear and turn again the crank till the piston #1 is TDC but had to continu clokwise to bring the crank in a position that it can match the cam gear
hope this is the way to do it? I had to move the camshaft again a bit to be able to match both marks
NOTE: all pistons are in the centre no TDC anymore should I try it like this the fact the two marks match? my 4 pistons are all position in centre to be able to match the marks?

serge,Yes thats correct.All the pistons should be 1/2 way 1 and 4 1/2 way up 2 and 3 1/2 way down.Cam and crank gear marks will line up then.
