To set the camshaft timing on a 1978 Porsche 911 2.7, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke of the first cylinder. Use the timing marks on the camshaft gears to align them correctly; the mark on the camshaft should align with a reference point on the engine case. Next, check the tension of the chain and adjust if necessary to ensure proper alignment. After adjustments, rotate the engine through two full revolutions to confirm that the timing remains correct before reassembling any components.


1978 350 timing?

You have 2 notches on the timing gears one on the camshaft gear and one on the crankshaft gear. Align them so that the (top) camshaft gear is pointing straight down, and at the same time align the (bottom) crankshaft gear so that it is pointing straight up. The two marks should be perfectly aligned with each other. I almost forgot, make sure your # 1 piston is at "top dead center" before doing this.
