I won't be able to see these pics as i'm at work and pics aren't viewable :( have to wait to get the laptop back from mummy bear :(

however, as i'm nearing the start of the timing belt job i thought i may as well post the Q that's been annoying me for a while lol

in the video when mark looks at the timing to see where it's at at the moment he turns the crank and brings the timing cogs nearly up to the mark on the casing. then attaches the crank locking tool which holds on to the water pump. fine, i understand that.

however, he then says that the 1 & 2 cogs are slightly retarded..... but the lines were matched up so was he looking at a marking on the crank?

once again i'd like to point out that the video is awesome and this is just me (as well as cogs 1 & 2) being retarded  ;D

Simples, when fitting a new kit the idlers are initialy positioned so that the cams are slightly retarded with respect to the crank, the idlers are then adjusted to advance the belt timing to get it bang on.  :y

I am very fussy when it comes to doing the timing and often check it two or three times.....if you do this then you dont get the error that can be seen in this thread.  :y

On which side had the head gasket gone?
as you can see in the pic, no1 piston is very clean, however the rear pot on the pass side was full of coolant & the gasket gone big time.

Similar to what I found on mine, with the near side rear, very bad and the middle cylinder on the same side had gone as well but not as badly. Is there any pitting on the head from the water ingress?

Only just my laptop back thank god.

love the pics RB. Just so i get this right, the thing the cam shafts sit in is ''the head'', right? then the head gasket between that and the cylinders?

Ps, has anyone got a close up of the crank pulley clearly showing the mark that should be at 6 o'clock when the cams are in the right place?

Looking at these pics I can't wait to strip ralf naked so i can see all this  :y
