Hi all, just an update on this camshaft drive being half a tooth out,

the bad news: I got to take the cam cover, cams and tensioners out again

the good news: I now know what is wrong.

Laying in the bath not 10 minutes ago I had a EUREKA moment (no I didnt run down the street naked) and now have the solution.

Its so simple Im really annoyed I didnt work it out earlier but for those ionterested here it is.

During the rebuild the crankshaft was turned, that in its self is not an issue but the problem arises when the chain is OFF the crankshaft gear.

ONE tooth on the crankshaft equates to 1/2 a tooth at the top which is the error I have.

Still, hopefully this will help someone out, should have worked it out before I built the engine back up but hey, at least I had not run the engine.

Ill report back hopefully tomorrow if I get out there to do it, snow is forecast
