So I set about doing my water pump and timing belt today a guess what like a di*k I take the belt off without marking anything up epic fail. Oh well I have the tool coming so I can set the timing properly.

Haha, but...... Is that tdc for compression or exhaust?

Griffithsbilly88 · Jun 11th, 2016, 18:14

I think compression not 100% on that though

If you've drunk 6 cans of those "testers", who cares?

That is TDC on the exhaust cycle. For it to be on compression, the head would have to be fitted.

Did something very similar with my 240 i had many years ago, replaced the belt then it was popping and banging all over the place, timing way off, me being me naturally assumed, due to the positioning of the distributor, that it ran off the crank, turns out that that little pulley that i thought was some kind of idler was in fact for the dizzy, although this mistake was done quite recently by practical classics magazines very own Sam Glover, so i dont feel quite so bad now.

Big deal, turn your pulleys clockwise until the marks line up.

Have you bought cam seals

Mate if you can't leave useful or positive comments then I would appreciate that you don't leave any at all. Because I find some of your replies sarcastic and condescending
