on the cam sprocket there is a line on the outer edge. align that up with the notch on the back plate line that up then look at the crank pulley there you will see another notch high light these points with some nail varnish making visable marking on the cam/crank and the back plate (but if you have a vauxhall cavalier manual they are the same engines 1.8-18SE or for 2.0-20NE/20SEH).as i have the same car and just fitted a new cambelt i know this.
what is the timing marks on the camshaft what is the timing marks on the camshaft
i need timing marks of merc c180 kompresser diagramatically if possible.thank you
check the timing position the dash marks of both camshafts should be on one line while the mark of the crankshaft in the right position >
You have to put proper gap for lifters and use marks to make sure that timing and the positions of camshafts are correct.
They are on both camshafts behind the camshaft cover and on the crank.
each car model will have its own way of resetting the timing but all should have some form of timing marks on pulleys/ camshafts. Refer to a workshop manual for the make /model/year of your vehicle - they are usually quite good for things like this.
Get bar that fits in slots on end of cams. The bar fits the cams only when at correct timing. At least this is how on 98
There are no timing marks, the crankshaft must be TDC and the camshafts have cuts on the end the cut looks central but it isn't, the low side goes to the bottom and should be locked in place.
the two cams must be at 12oclock and the crank must be at 6oclock
Look for detent marking on camshaft sprockets and align them with timing marks on cylinder head, should be visable markings and ensure that engine is at TDC on compression stroke, and timing marks should all line up
The cam sprockets have marks, triangles on them near one of the teeth. These are lined up with notches in the rear cover for the timing belt. Some crank sprockets have two marks, one to align with the mark on the block, the other to use to match to marks on an OEM timing belt. After market belts don't usually have this mark.
If they moved during belt installation, you will need to remove the belt and start over. The marks have to be correct.
