Timing issue

[CitroJim]

That's good news Kristian I had a feeling the timing marks were not coincident with TDC but grateful for you confirming that Dean

It makes sense really as when timing, you don't want there to be any risk of the valves contacting the pistons if you're a bit off.

So that pulley now becomes a "Special Tool"

Thanks too for posting the pictures of the 8V engine with bent valves. Rather graphic!
