GETTING REALY STUCK NOW ON HOW TO TIME UP MY ZVH HAVENT GOT A LOWER CAM BELT COVER CANT GET ONE TO FIT SO NO MARKS TO GO OFF IS THER ENY OTHER WAY I CAN TIME IT UP CHEERS ROB

 

only way i would think is to get the engine on top dead centre and mark the front pulley.tipex is good and then make a pointer and bolt it on the block. can use abit of welding wire or coat hanger.again bolt it to the block. hope this helps

 

CHEERS MATE THAT WAS HELPFULL HOW ACURATE DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE CHEERS ROB

 

long as the pointer is stable and good clear marks will be spot on son

 

There's a good casting in the sump if you look underneith, to use as a marker point. Get number 1 to tdc using a dial gauge...you'll find a dwell period of around 10degrees where the piston is on the edge of going up and then back down...true tdc in between these points. Then put a small cut /notch in the crank pulley aligned up to the casting in the sump (as you look at the pulley square on, the casting is around the 4 o'clock area...has been a few yrs since I last set up a zvh tho, but its around that side)

Stu.
