Good afternoon. Just trying to finish up my engine build, and its my first time doing timing. I have Fidanza adjustable gears, and they have 2 sets of timing marks. Per Fidanza, one set is for the Evo, and the other is for the 420a Eclipse. They couldnt give me a straight answer however as to which was which.
I tried doing the timing, attempting to use the double timing marks to no avail. I was able to get it this close using the single marks on the gears. Is this close enough? Or do i need to have it exactly perfect? Keep in mind, this is with the crank sprocket lined up perfectly with the arrow on the oil pump. Intake cam dowel is pointing down, exhaust cam dowel is pointing up.
Also, please note the amount of slack in the belt. I am pulling up with a good amount of force. Is that too much slack in the belt?
