if you have to fit them yourself just leave them on standard timing marks.


Yes, thats the 1st objective, then I need to study a way to set it for best adjustment, and see the engine reaction. :)

Take it to a garage because no matter how many walk thrupugh guides and shit u read you could still easilly dmage your engine and the cams

personally i would take it to a local garage and just pay to get it done as cams can cause soo much shit its not worth messing with .


Youre right, I would copy the Orginal camshaft setings ans pulleys,
to make sure that would fit propley, then i would rotate the engine to make sure the they are in lign like the original.

Anyway I will go to a garage but in my island no one had set ajustable pulleys before, and doesn't exists Dynos here :lol:
thats why i'm trying to get as mutch possible information to make the think right.


:cool:
