Basic timing diagram ^^^^^ and an early crank pulley showing timing marks. Later models had the timing marks on the plastic timing cover and the TDC mark is barely visible, many people have accidentally timed it on the 10 BTDC mark believing the "0" of the 10 to the right of the mark is 0 degrees but have in fact misread the marks.

A few poor unfortunates who've had a B200F bend valves on them!

Thanks, I’m convinced the timing marks are all lined up properly. I’ve looked a loads of diagrams online watches videos etc. When I had the belt back on and the marks all aligned, I turned the key and absolutely nothing happened. I guess the battery could be dead? But I replaced that the other day. |

Got the bonnet and boot open, had the front right door open. When I turn the key to II all the dash warning lights have come on. When I turn to III nothing happens but a little tiny pop that sounds like the spark plugs
Haven’t got any of the drive belts on yet Edit, closed all the doors bonnet and boot and it started up! Last edited by zchael6; Mar 18th, 2020 at 13:03. |

What difference would that make ? You are only adjusting the tensioner. The cam cover is also in the way when you do this through the hole where the bung goes

Many moons ago while changing the belt on my Rover, one of the valves in the rear bank was open just enough to cause it to shut on spring pressure from the valve springs, turning the cam backwards slightly and causing a trouser-filling metallic clang. I got the job finished and started it with a little trepidation but i got away without any problems. The other reason is that if something does go wrong for whatever reason, doing at @ TDC #1, you know where the various engine parts should be so won't have a problem starting from scratch.
