Timing up an F4R

[jezvalva]

If I used the cam locking tool do I still need the camshaft sprocket locking tool or is that ott?

Need it otherwise when you tighten up the fixings a torsional effect moves the cams and the pulleys slightly thus altering the timing that you've just set.

It won't be out by degrees but minutes count with these engines.

Ok cheers micK. Are engine dynamics any good for ordering shells from? I.e price

 

[MicKPM]

No idea I'm afraid as I'm not an engine builder nor have I ordered from them before.

I got mine from Renault. £20 for the big end set.
