Tu Timing

[cheesegrater 43 1 Cars]

Foolishly I said I'd change the waterpump on my friends 98 1.1 106. When following the instructions off autodat it said remove the aux pulley and crankshaft bolt. But. Apparently when you do this the crank pulley comes with! How can I time to bottom end up to the head. The heads obvious but the bottoms not so obvious. Why can't it be like an Xu!?

Cheers

Tom.

timing pin is in the flywheel on the front of the block near the crank sensor hole.

Thought as much. Is it a hole or slot? I've found a slot so far timed it up but cranking by hand results in contact

6mm hole

An M6x25mm bolt fits in the hole perfectly.

The inspection holes about 25mm dia isn't it? I'll have a look with fresh eyes tomorrow. Thanks guys.

Aren't you talking about the inspection hole to look into the gearbox bell housing?

 

The timing hole is just below the crank sensor from memory. The pin seats into a slot cut into the back of the flywheel.

Found what i think is the hole in the block and a slot in the fly wheel but it still wont turn 360 degrees before meeting resistance. Getting rather pissed off with it now lol.

you got the plugs out? might just be the compression? TU are one of the easiest belts I have ever done the fly wheel locking hole should be a little hole just back from the inspecton plate can be a bit of a mare to find it if you dont have small hands.

I prefer tipex for my timming marks its cheating but depending on what car your working on can save you a lot of time.

Plugs are out, I'm going to hazard a guess im looking in the wrong place!

on the front of the engine, tucked up against the block, at about 2 o clock the hole maybe full of crud so hard to see, failing that get 1 and 2 pistons at the same height by rocking gently with a pair of long fine screw drivers down the plug holes [b]mind the threads[/b], and then line up the cam timing hole

Cheers guys sorted. However the original problem still exists, any reason these engines like to overheat? Thermostats fine, had new coolant, waterpumps new (obviously). There seems to be next to no presure however in the headertank?

assuming its bled correctly (there awkward to bleed) , you shouldn't have any overheating problems even on a hot summer day

Seems to bled alright heaters work and all the pipes seem to be hot, it had overheating issues before and their garage diagnosed a waterpump which I found not to be the case.
