Timing

Gents I am after some advice,
Timing up the engine and the inlet cam seems to want to look on the horseshoe all the time. Last time I did it I recall I didn't seem to have this much an issue. I've tried putting a feeler gauge in there but the inlet cam still springs back on the horseshoe, and doesn't float freely.

Any advice greatly appreciated

I use the horse shoe to put the inlet cam timing slightly out so when you tighten the dephaser it pulls the cam into the correct final position. Its obviously not the correct procedure but it works for me.

Honestly my best advice is to get a decent/genuine tool that doesnt have any movement on the cam. Having a duff tool caused me massive headaches and let to me having to time it 3 times to get the damn thing to run smoothly
