how do you fit a cam pulley so the timing marks are in the correct place??
3 bolts, 3 slots, 3 options............

are there any marks I should look for??? I cant see any

On the other end of the cams ( dizzy/sensor end ) they are notches which I think need to be horizontal.

hmmm, I'll check that out tomorrow, but I think the slots are offset, because I remember the rotor arm only fits 1 and as does the sensor, so they are specific.

I'll check anyway
thanks

The slots in the rear of the cams are offset , they need to be set horizontal but the slots are one above centre and one below (if that makes sense), I made a locking tool out of a piece of dexion angle with plates bolted onto them.

Yep, the cams are offset

This might help, I set mine up by eye, when I finally got it checked with a locking tool, it was only a couple of degrees out :)
