So putting an engine back together all the books say aligning the cam and crank gears just line up the 2 dots on the crank and put the 1 dot on the cam between them. Is mine the only crank gear with no markings? The 1 dot is there on the cam gear, but nothing on the crank. How can you align the gears? Can it be done accurately? Any help would be great.

If there are no dots, could the gear be the wrong gear? Maybe one from some other application that (mostly) fits? Does it have the right number of teeth?

Does it have the right number of teeth? --DD I had a bad gear on my crankshaft (and a bad crankshaft). I would make sure that it has the right amount of teeth, but for your trouble it might be safer to just replace it. You can do it pretty easily with a 3 jaw puller and a plumbers torch Part# 021 105 209 A (I got mine from Parts Heaven). http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=1849695 |
