Well I got the old head back on and set the timing. I didn't
pull the crank
bolt off but did look down around that area really well and
it all looks
good. I have not started the car, just turned over by hand
and then with
the starter and every time I try the starter it seems to
jump time. The cam
slot moves what seems to be two teeth as well as the IP
timing pin hole.
They both seem to move the same distance. I think my cam
sprocket slip issue
is fixed but now something else since them both seem to be
off according to
the fly wheel timing mark. I can't really feel anything when
I rotate it
over by hand but when I turn it over with the starter you
can hear something
that isn't right. So do I need to take the crank bolt out? I
know I have to
get a new one. How do I hold the engine when I torque the
new bolt back on?
Any other idea's
Nick
Nick try scratching with a file or dabbing with liquid paper
'Tippex'?? a few reference points on the three
'sprockets-to-shafts' to determine which one is slipping...
If IP is sync-ing with the cam then maybe its thewoodruff
key on the crank pulley that's down the Swanee...
