Cam Alignment?

03-05-2020, 04:06 PM

Sorry if this has been done before, but I’m having trouble figuring where TDC is for the right side camshaft? The left aligns straight up parallel to the head, however, the right side will not sit parallel with its head, only to the left or right of it. I’m curious if this is anyone knows the proper alignment with that? Thank you all

You need the back timing belt cover on and the cam gear bolted on the cam to set tdc.

Are you trying to align by the gear locating pins only? The procedure is in the FSM as well.
