Ronnie has been a life saver today. Just as I was about to kick away the stool and let the noose do its business, he calmed me down and spent hours on the phone guiding me. Mind you, we're still not done.
The problem is twofold:
1) Vx gave me belt with no markings. Hence it went on wrong and threw the cams out when I tried to crank the engine 360 degrees.
Ronnie helped me get that sorted. I had to paint marks on the new belt, but I may be one tooth out so I'm going recheck it tonight
then:
2) There is no adjustment nut on the lower pulley. Cams 3&4 are thus not adjustable. The new Vx way is apparently to get the crank lock vertical, then insert the non-adjustable roller, then crank round to TDC which should line up 3 & 4. Does it work? Well, it hasn't so far.
A complete waste of 12 hours, but at least Fin was able to remain upbeat. The guy's a genius! thanks again, mate!!
Bath is run, so off I am to pollute the water.
Back later.
