Be sure to take the slack out of the chain before you take a reading.

: I have reached the point during the GT6
: engine rebuild where I need to set the
: cam timing. I have new TR6 duplex
: pulleys and chain so I have no
: dots/marks/scribe lines to work with.
: Let me describe what I have done and
: please tell me if it is right. This is
: the abridged version.
:
: I found true TDC and set my degree
: wheel to zero. I turned the crank
: forward in the normal direction of
: rotation until I reached 110 degrees,
: the LCA for the S2 cam I have. Then I
: turned the cam by hand until I found
: the max lift on tappet #2 (intake for
: cylinder 1) and fit the timing chain
: and camshaft sprocket. To check this I
: turned the engine in reverse PAST TDC,
: then advanced towards 110 degrees and
: confirmed I still had max lift on
: tappet 2 at that point.
:
: Please let me know if I am doing this
: right. I am used to dealing with
: marked pulleys and it has been almost a
: decade since I degreed a cam.

: Thanks,
