Hi,

I am part way through the Removal of the Cylinder head on my Seicento Sporting - need to replace tha gasket as it's definitely a gonner. The guide on the forum is great - thanks to Levemircento. I've got the cam belt covers off both top and bottom but am just a bit stuck with finding the timing marks on the cam wheel and the crankshaft cam belt wheel. What and where are they. I've never done this before.

Also, do you have to do something to stop these wheels moving somehow once the belt is off.

I feel like I'm making progress and just don't want to bugger it all up at this stage.

All advice gratefully received

Thanks

John

its not a problem if they move a bit on the 8v fire engines as they are safe engines. as long as they are in line again before fitting new belt.

there is also a tdc mark on flywheel that you can see through bell housing for setting crank at tdc

Thanks Dave,

The pictures are great - I was slightly confused when I checked my bottom cam wheel as there is a groove on the wheel and a dab of red paint somewhere else on the wheel. Is it the groove that you line up?

John
