Hi all

I have fitted a new timing belt and tensioner to my sapphire cosworth engine which is not in my car at the moment. Since fitting it, I have got hold of the cosworth manual and looked at the timing marks on the pullys and have a feeling that the distributor pully is out by 1 tooth. As this is the first engine I have done with a distributor pully :/. So piston 1 was tdc, the 2 cam pullys arrows pointed a teach other (not perfectly parrallel?? Is that ok?) and the crank pully key way was at the top of the crank shaft. On removing the belt, I noticed the distributor pully which was sort of pointing 10 o'clock (the manual says it should be about 2 o clock).

So put all back together and turn engine and am looking at rotor arm and when piston one is at tdc, the rotor arm is well onto the point for the ht lead going to piston 1. I feel I have the distributor pully 1 or 2 teeth out?? And it is 90 degrees out to what the manual is saying? It is as if the distributor has been moved 90 degrees away from where the manual says.

How can I tell and how can I set up the position of the distributor?

Thanks
