Post by: Rmachines on 14 April 2010, 21:18

Im trying to line up my cam shafts after fitting a new chain,  me being.. me (stupid)  forgot to look at the timing marks before taking the cams out....

I think it's the first picture that is correct. I've not got much experience with these 16v engine yet though so don't quote me on it.

Check the link again - it is the second picture that is right.

The markings must line up and be level with the top of the cylinder head.

neither of them are right technically, the marks should point directly at each other and at the same time they will be level with the head
