Random timing issue

Well hopefully its fixed, cuase of low pressure, I can't tell yet, I've ran out of fuel lol Mummy dearest is on route after the game with a jerry can :)

Just make sure the fuel line is well out the way this time lol

I've cable tied it up and right out of the way. Must be about the 95th cable tie on the car so far, the rest of it is held together with snot and chewing gum lol

Flol I hope it's all good now mate, my mate forgot to cable tie his oil pipes on his LET mk2 astra gte, bottom pulley into said pipes and bingo high pressure oil leak FTW lol

^lol

Its still broken :( I'm gonna check the cambelt make sure it hasn't skipped a tooth. Jimbob timed it up for me last year so there is marks on it. Cam pulley at 12 oclock and see if the mark on the crank pulley lines up with pointer. Or so I'm told.

I'm gonna get the epileptic gun out tommorow and double check EVERYTHING.

I hate cars....

Iirc the mark on the pulley is only a ignition timing mark but if you take of the bottom pulley and look at the crank cog that drives the toothed belt one of the teeth has a dot on it that lines up with a notch on the block to give you TDC on no1 piston, Also on that engine it's the water pump that acts as the tensioner for the belt.

Do you do the tipex thing when using a timing strobe?

Well, not tipex, nail varnish! They call me Monica on a weekend ;)

I'll have a look when I've woken up abit and I can actually function. Once again, your a star bazil.

correct the cam timing mark is under the pulley, the mark on the pulley is for your ignition timing

this fixed mate?

No, its partly stripped but I couldn't get the bottom pulley off so its down to my mates garage after work to get it air gunned off.

I got someone to look at it whos a bit more clued up then me and they said it looks like its jumped a tooth or two.

I got some second hand injectors to go on there too. Will let you know later or tommorow.
