Hi 6Packers,
I apologize for the ignorant question.
I am installing a new timing chain and sprockets
(a nice German set), but there are no marks on the
chain wheels.
My Bentley manual says to "align the marks, if
there are no marks, make the appropriate marks."
The Hayne says "align the marks."
OK, I assume that I set the number one cylinder at
top dead center, and then align the slot on the
end of the camshaft with dead center of the
crankshaft. but this seems rather crude and I may
well be one tooth off on the cam chain wheel.
Again, I apologize for this question, but is there
a precise method to align these sprockets?
Thanks in advance.
