OST-070: 7AGE for an N2 Levin

[oldeskewltoy]

Time to get the belt on and set cam timing.

But first we have a small problem to deal with... instead of a 116 tooth timing belt, I ended up with a belt with 119 teeth....




....someone put the wrong belt, into the right box





so once I got that settled, setting cam timing can begin.... it begins with KNOWING TDC. I use a piston stop, and determine exact TDC. Once TDC is determined, I move on to the cam card.





I take the cam centerlines and mark them on my timing wheel




and then adjust each camshaft so the cams centerline lines up with the respective marks on the timing wheel




Note: finding the centerline of the cam is kind of like finding TDC on the crankshaft, to determine the exact centerline I use a few degrees on other side of the lobes peak to determine the actual center.


Now that the cams are set according to the cam card, the timing cover, and trigger kit gets fitted.




more to come....
