Im performing doing my firts valve adjustment. I have some S2 camg gears and I just want to confirm that they were installed correctly. Im thinking the degree marks on the gears represent the "UP" position, but im not totaly sure. So, I wanted to know if there was another way of checking #1 is TDC besides going by the marks on the gears. I read something about 4 holes lining up at TDC but can someone please explain better. Thanx.

 

Well after reading another thread on the subject matter, I am gonna try the following. Put a very long stick on the #1cyl.... turn engine until stick goes all way up and stops going. That would have to be TDC.

 

Crank pully has a white mark on it to designate TDC when it lines up with the tab on the lower timing belt cover.

 

hahahaa, bedknobs & broomsticks! Yeah, there should be a mark on the timing belt cover, check tab.

 

when the two marks on the cam gears are faceing each other.

I would reccomend this over the stick method
