getting timing on twin cams sucks, i used to hate it but it takes a little practice. The way i do it is get the belt roughly routed around the waterpump and tensioner, and then get it settled on the crank. Then carry tension onto the front cam, and use a (i think 12mm for b and possibly 14mm for H) wrench to move the cams. So slide the belt onto the front cam a little, and then hold tension on it while manipulating the rear cam and slide the belt onto it. It sounds confusing but after you do a few it works well. Yes there will be slack between them but the deflection shouldn't be much more than you'd find between the exhaust cam and the crank. Just try to eyeball the locating teeth on the cams and the notch on the inner timing cover.

the springs/valves are pressing on the lobes wanting it to cock to the side that ---- pisses you off, just have to take a 14mm wrench and put some pressure (not to much) on the front cam gear bolt and slide the belt on.

Having a friend's help is nice at this point. make sure you have some beers ready.

also use a allen wrench in the locater holes on the cams themselves to hold it all in place while doing the belt, just make sure there tight in the holes so it dont move at all :-*

i try to be helpful to member that show respect, but some, who i will not mention are just plain disrespectful, just make sure the allen wrench your pick fits tight

hey.. what happends in gd stays in gd..

but to be honest someone who threatens someone online with bodily harm from a gun is just kinda not smart..

its nothing against you.. heh i just thought only 10 year olds did that ---- :-\

ok so someone just told me that the tooth has to be lined up with the rim of the head where the valve cover sits

i thought that didnt make sense.. because what difference would it make ???

but yeah.. with the crank @ tdc does the cam gears teeth have to be lined up on the thing that the valve cover sits on? the "rim" if you will.. lol

there should be a line on each cam gear that will point to the line on the other gear...my ms paint skills suck so just go take a look at your gears, there are little lines near the teeth

got the timing set and started the car still running on 2 outer cylinders pretty sure i just need another dizzy anyways when i rev the car i hear ---- that almost sounds like sand hitting metal and its ------- low as ---- and barely audible over the engine, most likely gonna pull the engine and sell the shell and engine and keep the tranny for my gsr

match the lines up with thre lines on the cover in back of them it will have a little dash also i was having the same problem route the belt around the waterpump but put it on the exhaust side before the intake and everything should be strait

so whats the sand noise

that was made for a total of 2 seconds or less then i shut off the engine.. only happend when i revved it high and again.. it wasnt that loud
