Hi Ian and Raz, The last action i have is to look for a timing dot on the crank pulley, (which Boydy kindly advised). If there is a dot on the crank pulley and i am able to time the engine, then all is well, (i will have learnt abit more) and thanks to Boydy!). However, if there is not a...

I'll add the gasket to my list of parts! Thanks for the offer Boydy.

Thanks Boydy, I'll go and have a look!

Hi guys, I have replaced a head gasket on my 19J TD. It has been torqued down but I have not warned the engine up. Can I reuse it?:confused: I need to remove the cam to inspect as i can not start the car due to timing alignment issues:(

Hi Boydy, do you thinkk that the keyway on the crank is not accurate enough for the lining up? I could understand it could be a few degrees out, but the cam appears to be 20 degrees out. I am thinking that the cam needs to come out for an inspection. I have already noticed that the enfloat...

Hi Boydy, sorry, thought you where talking about the Crank pulley, this lines up using the key way versus the arrow on the casing, the crank pulley is marked up with TDC. the Mistake I made was lining up the TDC mark on the crank pulley with the arrow on the inner timing casing (the TDC mark...

thanks Boydy, I will try the gental over shoot then turn back tomorrow. will write with news. P.S. Definately lining the crank wood keys with the arrow on chest. (did noticed he difference between TDC mark and key ways on pulley, thought I had cracked the problem until i found the mark...

hi Stig and others. I have looked into whether the cam is 180 out. buy rotating the cam 180 (so that the dot is 180 from the arrow) does result in the valves on pot one rocking, however the piston in pot four is now hitting number four exhaust (as opposed to pot one and valve one). the...

hi Stig thanks for the reply, when you say rocking do you mean that neither of the valves are beeing pushed down?:confused: also if the cam is 180 deg out would that not mean that the dot on the pulley would be 180 deg from the arrow? i have found that if i move the cam pulley about 20...

Hi Guys. Not able to wiggle the cam into position buy moving the crank back and forth, as when the dot on the cam is lined up with the arrow the exhaust valve is pushed down. This prevents the piston from reaching the TDC. Does any one know? When the engine is at TDC do we expect the inlet...

Hi guy's have finally found the create new thread button!! Have been Lining dots up with there respective arrows on the timing housing. However when lining up the cam (dot with arrow) number one exhaust valve is pushed down. If I put the crank to TDC before lining up the cam, then it is not...
