Timing question

[Steve_B]

Just to make sure, I've found 2 marks on the camshaft flywheel/sprocket. One is a punched dot on the outside, the other is a notch on the inside. The notch lines up with the top of the head at the front when no 1 piston is TDC and the rotor arm lines up with the mark on the dizzy.

I'm hoping this notch is the mark I should be looking at, the Haynes manual is as clear as usual 

EDIT: 8v btw

I've read that but it talks about a punched hole on the inside. Confused and getting a headache

RJ should be along to sort you out soon enough

That's what I'm hoping

It's in russian

Getting the hang of this I think. But, anyone know how to turn the intermediate shaft without taking the lower cambelt cover off? Have set the crankshaft to TDC and the camshaft sprocket is set to the mark but the dizzy is pointing about 60 degrees anti-clockwise of the mark.

When i did this i put abit of slack in the toothed belt and managed to spin the dizzy rotor arm roughly to number '1' position.

abit if a mission removing the bottom cover

True, the bolts on those pulleys are rusted in. So you can twist round the dizzy rotor arm with the tension off the belt and that's the same as turning the intermediate shaft?
