Got some quaife cames need to time the, to my BD16 and BD14 cams look really dificult to do! any tips

 

just time the cams and then refit the peg in the hole that lines up,peg is then held in by the cam bolt washer.

 

yeah as said, dial your cams in, then align the two marks and slide the peg into the slot that lines up. job done

 

You need a degree disc to mark exact tdc, and a dial gauge to determine full lift.
With yours it may well necessistate spinning the pulleys around as they are offset to get exact.
When do you want me to come and do it ?

you dont need to spin the pulleys at all

and i fail to see how a timing disc will show you tdc? it should tell you where full lift should be.

just line the timing dots up as usual, and put the peg in the hole that lines up there is always one that lines up.as thats the whole idea

 

The reason I use a degree disc on crank ALWAYS is to eliminate an erronous marks of tdc done by ford, it's utter studpidity to not establish with a dial gauge the EXACT TDC, it may or may not be as marked, but a disc with a improvised pointer is a hell of a lot more accurate than a pulley marking that may not be accurate anyway.
I have never used this design of adjustable pulleys, personally I think they're shit, and prefer the allen key type, that's the way I do it, oh and with two leather pieces as well.

you always need a degree disc on the crank to dial cams in...i fail to see how you can measure where full lift should be without?

peg style pulleys are 10 times stronger than bolt ups. and they cant be fucked up, under/over tightened by numpties either, ive seen loads rounded off, and bolt ups look ghey

 

If you now exactly tdc, then you can timing cams whit lift at tdc whitout a degree disc

 

ive never done it that way..

 

I have done it bouth ways, it`s easier this way, whit engine in car

 

do the cam producers give the lift at tdc figs then?

is it as accurate as measuring full lift?

 

timed mine up lastnite on a pair of these, it took us a while though, the pegs are off set

 

Most of them do that, and it`s same accurate on both

 

Here is some Norwegian mades from oe pulleys http://www.fmcn.no/forum/index.php?showtopic=45813, sorry for norwegian text

 

they look ideal!

 

They have a longer life, than alu ones. I have seen timing belt get fucked because of worn alu pulleys

 

yeah me too, hence why i chose the steel quaife pulleys!
