Hello friends! Just making a start on this job now, and have a first little issue. With the timing pin in and locking at TDC on No 1, the slots in the camshafts for the special locking tool do not quite line up. I can get the tool in both with a bit of forcing, but i was expecting them to line up a bit better than they are doing. Is this about right, or are the cams maybe a tooth out of sync? I'm hoping that when I put it all together again, as long as the cams are locked and the pin in it should be ok.
Also, I've read here and there that although you can't crack the crank bolt using the timing pin, (presumably the crank would be coming up to meet the pin from the side. I'll use the flywheel ring gear to lock it), it's ok to tighten the crank bolt against the pin. Will it take it? It's pretty tight.
