Hey everyone,

I just want a sanity check on my timing marks. This is the first time I've removed the camshafts (valve seal replacement) so I just want to make sure I got the timing correct - I think it's good but as a first timer I'm still nervous!

Cam timing marks before I removed everything:


Crank shaft marks (note that to get the cam marks to be flush with the head, the crank mark was a little off):



And now after I put the cams back on (note the cams are not tightened up yet so that's why they are not fully seated into the gears):


Crank marks:


Thanks!

 

Good, guaranteed.

 

Thanks bill! If this doesn't work I'll be making an appt with you to figure out my burning oil situation

 

good luck with this. most likely going through the rings. using mobil 1 15w50, mixing half of that with half mobil 1 0w40, has helped me considerably.

 

Thanks, fingers crossed it's not something in the bottom end!

Buttoning the car back up this weekend, hope to have it running by next week; we shall see.
