So looking for some help. Rebuilt my engine with Kent 276 Cam. To time cam I used a Dti to find true TDC on No1 piston. I set the timing, again using a Dti and No 1 inlet using the push rod with the Dti taking a reading from the push rod. The inlet timing figure from Kent is 106 deg and I managed to get it adjusted to 105 deg.
I used adjustable timing gears and duplex chain
Once i had fitted the new timing cover and turned the engine to TDC the crank pulley timing notch is about 2 inches short of the timing pointers on the cover. When i line up the crank pulley with the TDC pointer, No 1 piston is half way down the cylinder.
Anyone got any idea what if this is right? Also could it be the timing cover that is wrong?
