Broken Timing Belt

Hi All,

Land rover 2.25 diesel engine. 1984 5 bearing engine.

I'm Stuck....

Timing belt broken but didn't cause damage when head stripped down and everything checked, however, I'm stuck as to how to correctly time the engine as there are no marks other than a punch mark on the distribution pump pulley, a punch mark and 2 scored lines on the camshaft pulley, and, nothing on the crankshaft cog other than the collet (when this is at 12 o'clock the flywheel mark (only one) shows TDC (approximately).
There are 3 arrows on the face of the front of the engine.
I have looked through loads of manuals and some you tube videos but nothing refers to this engine - the LR manuals all show a chain. Haynes manuals are rubbish.

Can anyone out there tell me how to get the camshaft and distribution pump in the right place with the crank at TDC. I have general engine knowledge but never done this before.

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

The Land Rover series engines had a timing chain, so if you have a belt it might not actually be a Land Rover series engine, I believe the later 2.5 engines were cam belts.
it might help to stick up a picture of your engine.

Hi, definitely a LR engine

Engine fully reconditioned but just don't know how to time it properly as it won't run.

I am farily sure you have a 12j engine which is a 2.5na, but someone with more knowledge will be along shortly. In your photo is looks like you have already painted the timing marks white so I am not sure what you are struggling with or asking. The arrow on the crank lines up with the keyway. The arrows for the other two line up with th epop marks.

Is the question that you do not have a pop mark on the cam pulley because there should be one? If there is not you should be able to get the cam times by using the lifters but I would need to look up which one should be fully down at TDC. But also if there is not has someone fitted the pulley the wrong way around or the incorrect pulley?
