2g CAS and Timing

[MattyD]

Well I'm trying to get my new motor ready to go into my car. The new engine I have has the cam angle sensor plate on the cam gear. My original engine had the CAS on the opposite side. My problem is, I don't know which way the sensor needs to go. The picture posted is of a 1g cas, the back side of the 2g is similar. The 2g one doesn't have the marks to line up. On the opposite side there are plates that pass in front of the sensor, they are different sizes which means that is will only work one way. I hope someone knows what I am talking about. If you think that pictures will help you, let me know, I will try to take some tomorrow.

Also, how can you adjust timing on a 2g. From reading vfaq it looks like you could only do it on the 1g with the 1g cas. On the 2g it looks to only be possible with adjustable cam gears. Is this correct. If not could someone please give me step by step directions for adjusting base timing. Thank You.

I guess I should have just searched a little better on the timing thing. From what I just found it looks as though if I line up the timing marks when I put my timing belt on the ECU will take care of the rest based on the various sensors.

u pretty much got it - you can change ignition timing with a 1g CAS in a 2g.
or dsmlink etc. other then that cam gears is the only other way to change timming.

Okay. I took some pictures today of my 2g cas. This is where I am still confused. How do I install this onto the cam? There are no "timing marks" like there is on the 1g cas to is in te first post. Thanks.
