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.

QUOTE You can do it pretty easily with a 3 jaw puller and a plumbers torch Funny last time I did that I put my 3 jaw puller on it and torqued it to as much as I felt comfortable with (2 grunts & a fart). Then I heated the gear carefully with a torch. Just as I thought it wasnt going to come loose....BAM!!! The puller and gear flew off and up in the air at least 3 feet. I need to get a real press.... |

Exactly, step back and let the puller do its work, just make sure nothing breakable is nearby. |
