Timing

[mattspyder]

How does the timing look.
Do I still need to move them so the lines match up.
the way it looks they should line up pretty easy.
if I have to move the cams do I move the exhaust cam clockwise and the intake cam counter clockwise??

is the crank gear lined up right? (correction) I moved the crankgear so the little space in the trigger plate is lined up to the right.

No offense, but you're not even close. What guide are you following to do this?

Is that a 6 bolt motor? If yes then look through this thread:

Thats a 7 bolt search for the timing job.

well I know I'm not even close, I havent even attempted to start it yet, I went out and snapped the pics.
yes its a 6 bolt.

The cam gears are rotated 45* too far clockwise. But before you rotate them you might want to rotate the crank so that all 4 pistons are about midway down in the cylinder to keep the valves and pistons apart. Tom's write-up (the link I gave) is excellent.

Is it just me or does the thin plate behind the crank sprocket have two notches in it?

I know its a six bolt, BUT I THINK THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL AS WELL(for a 7bolt timing belt job):

my bad its in a 2g right?

 

[mattspyder]

yes its in a 2g and no that trigger plate only has 1 mark on it

Ok so I did a little Paint work to see if I got it right
the two dowel pins in Yellow need to be straight up on top
then the marks in Green need to be aligned in the middle.
