DanVW 0 Posted May 13, 2007 yep, crank pulley only fits one way as well but there is a bit of play in it only a few mm each way but enough to put you a tooth out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 15, 2007 ok, if you're certain that the timing marks are out on the flywheel (having tested it with a screwdriver/rod in the no.1 cylinder as I described before) then someone's fitted the wrong flywheel to your engine at some point... That's the only way that it can be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanVW 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Bugger :-( so am I right in thinking that I wont ever get the timing right with this flywheel then? As mentioned I set it up on the pulleys and although its quick I would like it set up properly at some point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 16, 2007 make your own mark... use the screwdriver method above and you'll be able to find TDC pretty accurately... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanVW 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Cheers Henny :-D Riley looks like we have an answer! I probably wont get around to doing mine for a while as I dont have a timing gun, but let me know how you get on doing yours if you decide to remark your crank and time it up that way!

Riley 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Aye, I timed mine up at the flywheel the other day...it showed the crank pully as being out so i put a new mark on it inline with the fly... Got it bang on 6deg btdc,definately pulls better on the motorway. Problem persists though... Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
