I now have the bottom end of the engine assembled, the conrods and pistons fitted, the cam in the block and the block attached to the crankcase. Before I try setting the timing of cam, can I check my understanding is correct?
Step 1. Attach a degree wheel to the crankshaft.
Step 2. Use degree wheel and a dti to find top dead centre on piston one (nearest the front of the engine.).
Step 3. Use degree wheel to advance the crankshaft to 110°.
Step 4. Use a DTI and and rotate camshaft until the second valve from the front is at maximum lift.
Step 5. Ensure crankshaft and camshaft do not move and fit it the camshaft and crank gears.
Have I understood this correctly?
Regards,
Jamie.
