I have just fitted a recon cylinder head onto my range rover and was wanting to set the valve/cam timing correctly. I marked the cam etc before I removed it and the new cam is back in the same place but need o check it was correct when I removed it?
Is there anything I can measure on the cam when the Locking pin is in the flywheel? to make sure it is correct without buying the locking plate from LR.
Thanks
You could download the RAVE manual FREE from LandyZone, and do the job just how the manual says.
There's even nice pics to show you.
1. Clean gear locations on camshaft and
crankshaft, fit Woodruff key to crankshaft.
2. Temporarily fit crankshaft gear and if
necessary, turn crankshaft to bring timing mark
on gear to the twelve oclock position, remove
gear.
3. Temporarily fit camshaft gear.
4. Turn camshaft until mark on camshaft sprocket
is at the six oclock position, remove gear
without moving camshaft.
5. Position timing gears on work surface with
timing marks aligned.
6. Fit timing chain around gears, keeping timing
marks aligned.
7. Fit gear and chain assembly.
8. Fit camshaft gear bolt, restrain camshaft gear
and tighten bolt to 50 Nm (37 lbf.ft).
