Hey guys i need some clarification;
i'm in the middle of a cam swap. I set the engine to TDC. The haynes manual said rotate crank to 3 o'clock and remove bank 1 timing stuff and cams ....i did.
The manual then said; rotate crank 1 3/4 turns to 11 o'clock and remove bank 2 stuff ... i did that too. I didn't move anything and just swapped the new cams on bank 2 straight in.
The manual then said rotate crank to 3 o'clock and install bank 1 stuff. I've now down that but looking at the photo's in the manual the bank 1 cam's positions are not quite the same as their photo's.
I marked the chain links for the cam's timing marks and crank keyway and everything is where it should be on that score.
What i am finding confusing is the reference to 3 o'clock and 11 o'clock etc.. because it seems with the crank it seems to be in relation to the sump pan and when refering to the cam's ... it seems to be in relation to the head orientation...
has anyone else found the photo's misleading ?
can someone who's done this please confirm as long as the chain markings line up, everything else will be ok ... just worried about putting everything back only to have to do it again ...thanks G.
