Timing Mark Line Up

[Don Dada]

Ok guys this is what my cam marks look like when the balancer is on 0*

I tried to get it the best angle i could have, but if u notice both the intake and exhaust cam are slightly advanced to where the mark on the backing plate lines up with just about the edge of the tooth.

So in that case the dot on the crank cog will also be advanced some too

As i said before when all three dots are lined up and i put on the balancer, it is on the second mark ie. 5*

Your thoughts pls.

Thanks

mark the back of the dotted teeth and line up the back of the tooth with the dash on the backplate. Helps to get it bang on rather then eyeing off from the front.

yeh ... i always use the back of the tooth for the line up.

I don't know what you are going on about then. Turn the balancer back a couple of mm and the cams will line up and so will balancer. It's a 2mm wide line matching up with a 3mm wide lump in the cover.

All the marks line up in those photos, except the cams are a mm or two off.

Or did you take the photo after moving the balancer?

Don't forget the backing plate is mounted on rubber grommets so it can be off by a mm or two also.

All three pics were taken as is.

Meaning........When the balancer it on 0* as shown, the cams are a little advanced, as shown
