Cam timing in the 10V turbo motor / windage tray

[Huw Powell]

> Is that the same for auto trannys? 

Good question, I would have to at least guess "yes".  Those engines 
still have to be aligned by the timing marks, so I would expect a 
similar visual access to the flywheel.

> Is it in the same area as the rpm and reference sensors?

Since I don't know, really, where they are, I can't tell you.

> I'm not sure which is the 'port' side.

Sorry, I was trying to be clear.  Left side facing forward, to your 
right facing the front of the car.

> Ya, I got all oil pan bolts out. So you're saying I should try rotating the
> crank to get the windage tray out? 

No, that can help with the rearmost oil pan bolts.  You said you have 
them all out, so that's not an issue.

I don't know what would hang up in there, the two or three windage trays 
I've seen go in required no finicky set up.  Hmmmm, wait, the distant 
fog of memory is trying to clear... let me look at some pictures...

Yes!  See here:

The oil pickup is bolted in *after* the windage tray is in place.  You 
should be able to remove the pan (& gasket) first, then you need to 
remove the pickup tube assembly in order to let the windage tray come off.

Also, if you are working in tight quarters, that pickup tube will block 
attempts to slide the oil pan out, since you have to clear it first.

I hope these pictures help!
