Was wondering if you need two 6 mm pin punches to set the timing on a GSR like you do with LS cams. Tool truck leaving soon I don't have time to search

 

Obviously they tool truck is long gone but I still was hoping for an answer.

What I'm refering to is the holes in the caps for the cams on the LS head. When your setting the timing with the valve cover off there are 6 mm holes that you can put a pin punch through the cap into the cam to help hold it in place when your installing the timing belt.

Does the GSR head have the same setup or is there another method for that head?

 

When I did my timing belt for my GSR hatch, all I did when the belt was off was set the cams to the marking on the block and positioned the crank, rotated the sucker with belt on and then tightend up the tensioner. No special tool needed when I did so.

 

Yeah just like Git LaO'd said, just make sure the cams lins up with the timing marks, and that the crank lines up with the timing marks. By the way ur sig is hilarious.

 

I tried using the pins before and it actually makes it harder. I couldn't get the belt on for ****. Then I took the pins out and went on like cake.
