Title: Cam Alignment
Post by: scott KC on January 20, 2007, 06:16:48 PM

I'm having trouble getting my cam aligned.  I replaced my profile gasket and put everything back together.  I marked my cams and chain sprokets before dismanteling.  Using those marks I re-assembled, started it up and thought I now owned a tractor.

In severl of the posts by members, I've noticed that the cam end blocks must be aligned or square to one another.  Using my marks on the sprockets and cams, the cam end blocks were not quite square.  The car ran beautifly before i took it appart.  

I have the engine in TDC. I've inserted a 8mm metal rod into the flywheel.
What is the best way to get these cams aligned???
