[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[mark shepherd]

We're getting there :o)
Note:
1) DO NOT USE THE LOCKING BAR TO TIGHTEN BOLT... Sorry to shout. Just put 
inch- pounds on nut with this method.
2) Locking pin on pump is sloppy. This allows you to get back on the timing 
belt on the same tooth you started with
3) Accuracy need between cam setting with feeler gauges/ any parallel steel 
rule wedges, and timing mark on fly wheel [assuming this is present!!] I 
always set these 2 items up and put car in gear, with hand brake on assuming 
not an automatic ;o).
Do this accurately and the rest is apple pie.
