Help with timing a z6
 

I can get the belt on and all the marks lined up, but when I turn the crank 3 teeth to take out the slack in the belt like it says in the haynes manual, the marks aren't lined up anymore. Ive tried lining up the crank pulley off a little bit so when I took out the slack it would line up but that didn't work either. Im running low on ideas. Whats your guys' secret?
thanks

your using the 7 o'clock mark on the cam pulley right?

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

trial and error, i did it a few times before i got it down

yep using the 7 o clock timing mark. Also, when I use the chip I got from xenocron I get a code 1 and then 2 long blinks (don't know what code that is), but when i use the chip I burnt myself from crome I get a sold cel.

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

did you get the ecu from xenocron? from the solid cel when you burn a chip, it sounds like either your burner is set up wrong or you ecu isnt chipped right

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

Yes xenocron chipped my ecu. But how do you guys time your cars? Cause that ---- from the haynes manual does not work.

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

just use some common sense, the haynes manual has an ok way of doing it, but i got mine right on just by doing it a couple times and setting the crank pully further towards the front of the car so that it would line up properly when tightened

just go out and try it a few times, you'll get it after a few misses

Dude thanks for trying to help but your not helping. Obviously I have been trying hence why Im posting in here. If you read my first post you see that I did try the way you said.

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

then you must be ------ retarted because its easy as hell, i got it right after about 4 times doing my first timeing job on a honda. its not that hard.

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

retarded only has one t

Re: Help with timing a z6
 

After you take up the slack and tighten the pulley bolt. Did you rotate the crank around again to see if everything lined up?

Really it's not that hard. Just keep trying, you'll get it.
