RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

Hi guys,

Have just bolted the head back on the block and done everything up nice and tight and it occurred to me I cant remember what position I had the cam in before I took off the old head.

Looking from the front of the engine, pistons 1 & 3 are at their highest point in the block and I have reassembled the head with the locating arrow thing on the cam pointing straight up.

I am reading through some manuals now to try to work out if I screwed or not and was hoping someone here may be able to help me as I don't want to stuff everything up first time I crank it over.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Matt

Matt

have you got the motor at top dead centre?

get it to there first, then with the cam lined up to the pointer go from there

attach & tighten belt & then turn over by hand

not as complex as some of the answers but you shouldnt have done anything wrong from your description

Hi Scott,

I am scared if i rotate engine I'll hammer valves etc...

Do you know what pistons are at top of stroke when at TDC? I.e. 1 & 3

cheers

Matt

I'm pretty sure it's 1 and 4

Thanks guys,

Al sorted now. I had it right the first time.

Thanks to those who replied.

Matt
