Hi Mike, You wrote;
The next job is to set the engine to top dead centre. This can be done by moving the cam markings into position. There is a dot on the pulley which should align with the dot on the plastic casing. In this case there were also various tipex markings put on in incorrect positions (on the cover slightly to the right of the dot.
Thanks for your excellent write up and the pics are extremely helpful. Being pretty well a novice i wondered how you moved the cam markings into position? I would certainly have a go at fitting a new cambelt if it was a non inteference engine. I did get someone to fit a cambelt to my old 740 with a B230K engine. I bought a volvo belt and paid 55 pounds to have it fitted. I thought the belt was very reasonably priced at about 10 pounds 3 and a half years ago.
Many Thanks James.
