CAS markings missing?

Post by **ORICLE** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 7:35 pm

I replaced the headgasket on my redtop and I'm ready to put the CAS back in and I read about ligning everything up. So I've looked at different posts.Example being: http://www.frsport.com/How-To-....html

I looked at the photos of the CAS and mine doesnt have the markings. So my friends and I thought maybe it was a rebuild or something because there is a warranty sticker on it. I dunno what the hell is going on. Open for ideas or suggestions. One more dumb question. Do you need to take the valve cover off to place the CAS to verify the markings or just set the crank pulley to TDC and set the CAS.Thanks.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to have the markings missing from the CAS. The paint might be worn off, but the indentions will still be there. There's no way to align the CAS properly without the markings.

Ok so I finally have the day off to work on the SR. Here is what I have. I tunred the crank until the blued links matched:

Then I placed the crank at 2nd mark from left:

So my CAS looks like a remanufactured piece it looks different from all the images I've seen describing this.

I just wanted to get everyones opinion to see if this looks correct before I go any further. Thanks.

If I rotate the cas the other side of the end just has a single hole by itself no shield? So i thought this side was the one that needed to line up. Any help would be great thanks.

Everything thing but the CAS is Correct you need to rotate the CAS Counter Clockwise to look like this

When you slide it in you want it to line up on the LEFT DOT

So to do that pull it out line it up on the RIGHT Dot and side it in the it should rotate to the LEFT Dot

And once done properly ajust it so that the right side adj bolt sits around in this area it will put you pretty close to 15* if not on it.

Haha I would love to do that. The best I could do was this since my CAS has no marks at all.

There is no mark whatsoever on my CAS. So I had to try and get it as close to the photo as I saw I'll test it tomorrow hopefully.
