The two cam gears marking should face each other, at the same time the oil pump sprocket should line up with marking on the block when the tension is set. Give it two revolutions, and if all still line up, you are good to go.

VFAQ has a really good write up on this.

-K-

One step further - Intake cam should read "2.0 FRONT" or whatever right-side-up, while the exhaust cam should have it up-side-down. When you are all done and have pulled the pin on the tensioner, all marks must line up exactly. Half a tooth off is not goo enough.

Enjoy.

ok there is no way for the cam marks to be faceing each other. ther epointing the same way

ok guys i figured it.....but bad news... i inspected everything closely when i took it all off. but not closly enuff. the first problem was the crank was 180 degrees off. then i ran a compression test because it would act like it was gana start but would never fully crank. well

Sorry to hear that, man. But, if it's any consolation, prettty much everyone on here has done one goofy thing or another in the process of learning.....and they are all stronger for it.

Keep yur chin up.

oh im fine i guess lol. moneys money....you can always make more. im pulling the head AGAIN! tommrow and puting it in the shop monday to be pressure tested shaved and a 3 angle valve job and all 16 new valves. hopefully ill have it back by wednesday at the latest.


Yes i've read on quite a few forums about people hydrolocking...its that damn huricane bringing in all this weather...it sucks......\


You know the worst part about this. i finaly got my stage 1 tranny in and havent even drivein it yet..... actually i've done quite a few things in the 2 weeks its been parked.....msd coil and wires,55mm TB, and ported intake manni.....so it should actually feel alot better when i get it running. oh one more question do you guys think i should replace the piston rings because the first 2 cylinders have very very good compression for eing cold do you think it needs it?? the motor only has 70k on it

Edit- oh yea you know that little black box that bolts onto the back of the IM it has 2 vacume lines going to it. ido you have to have it?? i know theres some vacume lines you can get rid of but is that some of them?

That black box is for your cruise control, if you want cruise then you must have it.

I just got the head back on mine. Elective Head gasket replacement....lol What can i say, i am anal about HG oil leaks. Due to driggs misfortune is why I refuse to start it till after Labor day...lol


Look at it this way, by the time you are done you are going to be that much better at the timing process. After your second one it gets much easier.

well everything is off again lol. so tommrow im takeing the head to a shop to have them do a 2 angle valve job and shave the head. luckly for me i have 2 spare motors but bad thing is i already had them ripped apart for the one im going to build. so i had spare valves so i just rounded them up and im gana get the guy to put them in insead of my just haveing to buy new ones.

With that amount of patience and perseverance, you should sell it and buy a car with a warrenty. DSM's are for people who enjoy working on them. DSM's take knowledge or peopel with the ability to learn a great deal in a short period. You are not the first person to do a timing or head job and you will not be the last.

I will give you 500.00 for it. It doesnt run so i cant offer you anything higher

Have a nice day.

Lol I'll offer $600 if you take out the $10k in mods put into it, and return it to stock.

i never said 10k in mods...so read carfully. i said i have put 10k into the car. as in keeping ir running replaceing broken shit.
