basically the engine im rebuilding didnt come with any cambelt covers, ive been to a few scrappys and they dont have any so i just want to check im doing this right
The top cam pully should be at 12oclock - TDC
Remove spark plugs put a screw driver in number 1 turn the crank pulley by hand until i can feel the piston at the top and just about to go down - TDC
should this make it time up correctly ?, how will i know its not 180 degrees out ?
this is the belt that tensions on the waterpump
cheers
fit the belt like you said then turn the engine over by hand

then re-check the timing marks, if not jumped it should be all done ?
turn it over 2 revolutions and the timing marks should be what you set them to in the beginning

no not with the cam pulley marker at tdc and the crank pulley pointing down at the oil pump mate.

And sometimes on the bottom one where the belt goes around there is sometimes an arrow but ull be fine how you done it just turn it over by hand like someone else said
the covers are still available from vauxhall if you want them, as I bought a set last year for my old one. they had to get them from europe, and they are £30 for the front, and £60 for the rear 2 though :(
