So i got my motor back from the builder and its been sitting on the stand while i get more parts. I wanted to verify and or swap to oil pump gears to billet opg's. Removed timing cover, I got the crank to what i think is tdc. Timing marks lined up based off a picture a got off web. Could see #1 piston through spark plug hole.
Removed passenger side chain tensioner. When i went to remove the chain, the cam spocket moved. Rotated 4-6° counterclockwise. Tried to line chain back up and the chain is off almost 2 links using marks i made on links. Looking at the position of the timing marks now it looks closer to the picture than before. Also looking at the copper links o. The chains, they never lined up with the timung marks after rotating motir twice. Really not sure if it was ever timed properly in the first place.
Why would the cam move when removing the chain? When i broke motor down before rebuild, i didnt even try and get it to tdc and cams never moved a inch. Below is the timing position after chain. Yellow mark is where timing mark is on crank and approx where the cam gear was to start.
Sorry this is as long as it is. It looks like im going to have to get someone to come over and re-time the whole thing. Id hate to try and get marks back to where they were and it was right to begin with. Any suggestions woyld be greatly appreciated. Thx
