I had a problem putting it together.

1.I could not follow the Yours (Sixsto) instruction because if i had set ip and crank
together, then when i have connected cam IP was out of seating.
One tooth of cam gear are many ip teeth.

2.And when
I had set cam and crank together at first, could not set IP then because could not mange to set right tooth of IP gear because chain even the tensioner was removed gave me troubles.

So i had set crank and cam at 0 TDC for #1 and teh turned it on 15 ATDC and then i checked ip gear with three marks with relation to engine block.
Then i removed tensioner,ip and cam gear to have chain free of tension so i could hold ip gear with one hand to be fixed at marked points and could insert IP with another hand.To fix ip to not tourn ( in that specific checking hole) i did not use any special tool but just simple 6 mm screw.
The last was fine rotation of ip
to have IP "checking tooth" in center of hole at 15* for ATDC #1.


Maybe i will use next method after some time to check if IP is right set,
but now i will enjoy driving around with friends.
