timming does it look ok

[scottsnissan]

Well here is a pict of the timming.We wnt ahead and tor the hole front end off jus to check.

The only thing we cant seem to understand is that the pics in the fsm are diff then we come up with.

Like on the lower sprocket the timing mark is not even with the flat spot on gear.!!!!

Also the amount of links inbetween are diff.No where near 15 like in the book a believe 18 is what we got.

And aslo does the timing on the uper port look good?

When we put at top dead center this is what we get!

First off the FSM was made up by techs working by the hour.. so any little details they can get anway with, they do. Don't trust pictures, I have counted the wrong number of teeth and links in my FSM.

Now if you are worried about the timing, realise that there are two TDCs.. one at the top of the compression stroke and one at the top of the exhaust stroke. So basically that chain is not going to match up every time it comes around.. and it actually doens't line up that much at all.. maybe once every 50 strokes, I'm sure someone could do the math on it if they cared to.

Unless a tensioner or the top sprocket bolt is loose there is a very small chance of the chain actually jumping. I've had mine jump before so I would know =)

But if you are still worried about it.. you have it all torn apart.. just reset the timing yourself.

good luck

well the compression is noty prob since we jus installed the head.we decided to go with all the silver links to be in the correct place once omn top dead and throw out the pics.So were are jus gonna make sure weere still top dead and lione all the links up.Compression wont matter till the cams are in and when u frst install them thats at compression. So all let u all know whats gonna happen
