Title: Cam & Piston timing
Post by: jonnyb on 27 March 2013, 10:47

Morning folks,

Whats the best way to setup the engine timing?  My friend is currently re-building my ALH engine, and isn't sure how to setup the timing, as the cam isnt notched?  (i know very little about this so havent a clue if im asking the right question).

Is there a diagram or something to show the orientation of the cam relative to the pistons?
