if i'm reading you correctly, you're saying that to be
assured of doing this correctly, with my
current lobe/washer situation (which looks just like MPLafleur's shot (re-posted below) and at TDC on my crank damper, i need to:
1) turn the engine over such that i can remove the rocker arms.
2) w/ rocker arms removed, rotate the engine until i once again see the lobe/washer situation in the photos below (so i know what i'm starting with).
3) then rotate the
crank another 360º to the
next TDC (which we assume will be the intake stroke for the engine, even though the cam sprocket and lobe position will be 180º different from the photo).
4) remove the cam sprocket.
5) rotate the cam (by hand) until it is in the position shown in the photo below.
6) put the sprocket back on, and reassemble everything.
7) reset all the valve clearances? (again?)
8) drive off into the sunset.
yes?
