As per my photos you’re right, it seems that I was a little “pre TDC” when I did the chain swap. This arvo and did a few full rotations until I got the timing marks all lined up as per your photos, whacked the crank pulley on and had the timing mark line up up with the 0 of the timing cover. I think we’re good, I hope at least! theoretically, if nothing moved during the swap apart from me winding crank back a very little to account for old chain stretch we should be in the exact same position pre removing the chain. she was a humdinga runner when she came in the shed, let’s hope it’s the same on the way out haha.

You’ve allowed me the pleasure of sleeping tonight hahaha. Thank you fellas much appreciated

Note: motor also turns freely with no resistance

Hi all, recently purchased a twin row timing chain kit. Went to install it lastnight and things are off by a couple mm. cam and crank didnt move at all during disassembly. Put the factory single row back on to be sure and it lined up perfect. i could get the crank pulley on and the cam locator dowel on but the cam pulley bolt hole was off by about 2/3mm. i ended up getting it on by reversing the crank by about a mill or so. basically, will this damage the motor. It was the slightest movement to get it on but now I'm worried ahah. spoke to the supplier (oldscoolautos) and theyve told me to redrill the locator pin hole on the cam pulley. just after some opinions on this. cheers
