ok so today i put my bluetop cams into the bigport gze.

i aligned evrything at TDC, however now the cam wheels markings are about a cm off the marking on the backing plate, wtf!

im using the gze cam wheels, is that my problem? if not wtf is, and how do i fix it? :oops:

cheers

ive never done anything like this before so its highly possible ive done something wrong, when i put the new shafts in i put them basically in the same place except they werent sittin flush so a tiny rotatation(tinytiny) and they sat down flush into the head, is this my problem? am i supposed to force them ?

on 4ages...
Do you have the cam covers on?
Because if you do you can line up the cam to tdc...

Or roughly (looking at the camwheel) put the pin on the intake at 12 and on the exhaust put the pin at 5...backing plate doesnt matter

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 7:38 pm

yea both of the pins are in those positions, but the marks are completely off, why is that? they were all lined up before i put the new cams in!

No idea sorry

how does having the cam covers on help? do you mean the retaining things?

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:34 pm

hmm, i put the exhaust gze cam back in to see if it was just the different cam, but its not, the gze cam is also a cm off! :evil:

so i guess that means its moved. $&#$%

so whats my plan of attack now that this has happened?

:evil:

sup, you got a photo of it?

i think from reading it, have you tried putting the cam wheels on opposite cams? can't quite remember if they were the same.

other thing is when you put the cam belt on, they may have moved?

or possibly 180deg out, (doubt would be this, sounds like you've just lifted old out, and put new ones in)

also have you checked all your clearances?

no i havnt tried swapping wheels cuse i marked inlet and exhaust so i know they are right

i havnt put the cambelt on yet cause they are both so far out of line!

def not 180 out becuse of the 12 and 5 oclock thing.

no

by **IH8TEC** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:54 pm

is it the spring pressure causing them to sit off the mark?

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:55 pm

$&#$% if i know im new to this.

how would i figure that out?

by **IH8TEC** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:58 pm

if you turn the cam to where it lines up on the backing plate, and let it go, does it turn by itself to the point where it sits 1cm away?

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:59 pm

yup

by **IH8TEC** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:59 pm

if everything else you have done is correct, then just move it to the point when you put the cam belt on,

by **IH8TEC** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 9:01 pm

remember the bluetop cams will hold the valves open or closed at different point to the std cams, so that risisstance will be that.

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 9:01 pm

true, its pretty tight, like i need to apply abit of pressure to get it to the point,

owell ill do that.

the nexty step is to belt it up and turn it over by hand to make sure nothing collides, correct?

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 9:02 pm

anyone know the torque settings for cam retainers?

by **IH8TEC** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 9:02 pm

yip, double check you've tightened everything though
