I have just put my XE back together after the oil pump.
I bought new cam pulleys as the originals had a bit of wear.
I put it all back together and it was running badly.....I tried moving the teeth on the cams one forward and one backwards....no joy.
Then I realised there is a front and rear pulley...oops I had them the wrong way.
I have tried to get it running tonight (2 and half hours in the rain) and I am getting nowhere.
Before turning the engine, I turn the engine by hand two revolutions. If it won't turn then I didn't turn the engine as I was worried that it would burst valves so I have it on the easiest to turn.
Is there a way to check the cam timing? The crank pulley is an aftermarket job with no mark.
Has someone got a pic of the two cam pulleys just so I can check I am aligning them correctly.
