Hi Again All, Now I'm really stuck..... After all the replies and help identifying the beast and getting the correct manual with the instructions on how to time it, I come across another problem (no surprises there). OK, So, I bought a timing pin to lock the flywheel - OK I rotated the crank...

Yes sorry for the triple threads on the same subject but it's getting very long and most replies don't solve the problem!! I can either try going back to removing the head and then checking all the valve and pushrod- though I have only been cranking buy hand and not forcing anything. It would...

Hi All, Still having trouble trying to time this engine.....I have the correct manual for this engine but for some reason I cannot complete the sequence...I set the pump wheel with the dot on the arrow...I set the camshaft wheel with the dot on its arrow....when I try to rotate the crankshaft...

Thanks for this.....at last i have 1) a picture of my engine!! And 2) information on how to time it! I might stand a chance of getting this lump working now.

Hi, I have been trying to get this engine to run after the timing belt broke. As part of the vehicle restoration I refurbished a lot if the top side , new valves, pushrod, headgasket, etc. Though none of these items were damaged. I have been trying to correctly set the engine timing but so...

Ok.....more different info....impossible to get to flywheel and there are no holes in front of distribution pump! I have 3 marks on camshaft pulley but don't know which one I should line up with the arrows! I have 3 different manuals and none of them refer to timing belt - they are all relevant...

Hi thanks for the info. Yes, I have put some marks on the pulleys based on some old photos of the strip down. However, it cranks over easily but still will not start. So I need info on how to set the camshaft from the valves...crank definitely at TDC (EP mark on flywheel) the rest I have no idea.

Hi, definitely a LR engine Engine fully reconditioned but just don't know how to time it properly as it won't run.
