In the service manual in section 8-24 the picture contradicts what it tells you to do when lining up these marks. Can someone explain this to me? I redid my timing last night and went by the picture and not what it actually says to do. Is this a misprint?

Thanks

remember there are four strokes to the cycle, you can be 180 degrees off, you cams may have in fact been degree-ed. you need to clarify your question a bit more

the cams have never been adjusted, this is the first time i have pulled apart the head.. i am just trying to set the timing to stock.. I thought i had jumped a tooth so thats why i went to timing

 

jumped a tooth with a chain? possible, if untensioned... not likely though.

 

ok, i printed a copy of the service manual off the net so i didtn see the little notch in it.. it was there though.. thanks, im an idoit haha.. and i didnt jump a tooth so still tryn to figure this one out...
