thanks lee
I've just fitted Cossie management to Conors car and you can jack the engine up enough to take the bottom pully off, but you cant lower the engine enough to do it. But it is tight I agree.
Correct the CPS tells the ECU when its at TDC but your using a Seirra pully which would have origionally used a 36 tooth ring, and the cosworth set up requires a 4 tooth ring. If its one of Jano's I think he has them made out of steel for a better signal than the origional alloy ones then they have to be added to the Sierra pully. Being adjustable makes it easier to set 100% correct at TDC as you are mixing and matching parts.
Gary (gadget) used to make a different system but not sure what happend with that.
It doesn't require much force to pry the engine over, and the engine mount is adjustable for this very purpose. Putting some padding behind it means you wont damage the paint. Conors bottom pully is a good 8-10mm away from the Chassis now.
I havent tried to change a gearbox in place with this set up admitedly, but its so easy to take an RST engine out I would rather take it out to change a box anyway.
