hey all, long time no see,
So on to my problem.I have a 77 engine which i have a mix up camshaft (77 cam gear pressed on to a 74 camshaft (previous posts will explain why). i got it pressed on at a shop so hope they lined it up right.
the problem i have is i didnt break the timing chian when i removed the stuffed camshaft and dont know how to line up the crank with the cam so everything runs right, i believe that if i muck this up ill end up with bent valves. so any simple ideas that i can do to line it all up and test if the gear lines up right too?
im not to motor savy so laymens terms would be great.
cheers guys
