How-To's / Cam alignment

« on: January 20, 2007, 09:00:50 PM »

I'm able to adjust either cam with the bolts lose.  I'm thinking maybe i'm 180 degrees out.  I assumed with number one piston in the up position and my 8mm through the flywheel I was at TDC.  I also have the arrow on the case and notch on the main pulley lines up.
Could that also line up at 180 degrees out?

Engine + Driveline / Cam Alignment

« 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???
