Default Re: Fiber Timing Gears

Hoop.It's hard to install those cam gears with no dot on the gear because you cain't turn the cam. If the valves were out so you can turn the cam it would be easier. I'll tell you how I would do it. Turn the crank so N0 ONE and No. SIX piston is top dead center, NOW install NO.6 valves with no springs, make sure the fuel pump push rod is out, now the cam will turn with your fingers, hold down the 2 valves with your fingers, turn the cam counter clock ways and watch the 2 valves go up and down, (rock the 2 valves so both valves are open just off the seat). Now hold the cam gear up against the cam with one of the cam theeth in the crank gear. Mark that thooth. there is usaually a scribe mark in the center of the cam gear. With the gear pressed on turn the crank back and forth with the no.6 valves rocking and piston top dead. Walt
