A question for anyone who may know, a heads up for anyone who doesn't know.
I replaced everything behind the timing case. Crank pulley, sprockets, chain, oil seal.
According to the FSM I was supposed to line up the timing marks before removal. Did that, but than after new one installed I was supposed to turn until they were in certain positions, did that. Than it says there should be 15 pins between the marks, nope. Also says there should be 48 links on the chain, nope, 64 (old and new)
Anyway I put it together once, 15 pins between... ya, that was wrong.
Did it again, timing marks lined up, fired right up.
Other than the fact the FSM has 2 different directions, which is actually correct? Other than the fact lining them up was the only option that worked for me.
Anyway, the FSM is rather confusing, so if anyone is thinking of doing this job, and using the FSM to do it... keep them lined up. I have no idea what the purpose of the 15 pin count was, but it did nothing but waste my time, piss me off, and nearly make me miss the butchers before the big fight night tonight.
