Now for two questions… I’m worried I’ve not got the cam timing right. So someone please tell me if my reasoning checks out.
In this image, you can see the timing dot on the crank sprocket is located just one and a half sections counter clockwise of the key. I define a section as a single raised or lowered section of the pump drive.
Here is what I’ve got. I think this is as close as i can get to having the timing arrow on the cam sprocket line up with where the dot SHOULD BE on the crankshaft.
I cannot see the dot because I can’t remove the oil pump as I don’t have the facilities to lift the engine.
2nd Question:
Does this lifter look okay (LITERALLY JUST UNBOXED JOHNSON 2110R. I can barely feel those short lines with my finger nail.
