Mamps 0 Posted September 17, 2005 Does anyone know how to set the valve timing on the 16 valve / 2 litre 9A engine? Are there timing marks on both camshafts? Is there anything special that you have to do with the chain between the two camshafts to align everything? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
destructiv dave 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Same as on the KR engines found in the golf, so if you can have a quick flick through a Haynes (book of lies) manual it should give you a clear idea. Basically on the distributer end of the cams there is a little mark on each of the faces of the sprockets. These need to be level (and facing each other) with the top edge of the head with the rocker cover off. This should be set up whilst engine is TDC, have a look for the flywheel mark, recheck with the crank pulley, then stick an extension bar down spark hole 1.
