getting in depth with TIMING....
ok I have my head off now, doing some "things" ,when putting evrything back together, I have to put the T- belt back on the cam gears and make sure its set...
What is the best way to make sure everything is lined up perfect?
When I did my timing belt change, I had the crank pulley off, and lined that line up under the cover. Is there any way to get around taking the pulley , and cover off, and still being dead on accurate?
I was thinking putting a dowl stick in the #1 cylender, then turning to I see the mark on the flywheel, and set it where the upper most part of the stick is....
Because if I was right, that little mark on the flywheel is pretty broad, meaning It could be off a deegree or 2?
what do you think?

i never used hte flywheel marks, i use the ones on the oil pump and cams liek the helm manual recommends, then i use a thin screw driver to lock the cams in place through the holes in the cams and cam plates....

The timing can only be off by 1 or more teeth. 2 degrees isn't enough to change anything. Once the teeth in the belt and the gears in the pulley line up your either off a tooth or your in time. 1 tooth is about 15 degrees.

you mean teh balance shafts.
I left my upper tb cover off to double check all the marks
after evrything was assembled.
make sure you jump the service connector
when setting the timing with the dist.

No, my H23 has holes in the cam caps to lock the cams.

I know they do, but it doesn't say anything about locking
the cams while changing your timing belt in the Helms though
