Hi
I was changing the cambelt and followed the excellent DIY instructions here:
The problem is that the marks on the belt fit with the marks on the gears but not the marks on the engine block for the valve gear...?
I never locked the gears position or put the enginge in TDC. I wiggled the gears maybe +-20deg to get the belt on.
I noticed the position of the camshaft gear towards the edge of the casting.
(see image)
I marked the "0" tooth in the valve gear on the engine block (when the old timing belt was there).
(see image)
The issue is that the black marking on the engine block doesnt line up with the O tooth on the valve gear.
How can I find the right positions again?
