Ok so im installing the cams now. One question i have that i cant find an answer to in the service manual. From what i gather the cams spin 180degrees for every full rotation of the crank? this means that even if the inspection hole line is lined up on the starter cover mark the cams could be in one of two positions 180 degrees apart? I assume as long as i install the cam gear numbers as per the service manual the cam position sensor will tell the ecu which of the two positions 180 degrees apart the cams are in and accommodate?
I was getting fairly confused until I looked at the APE install instructions for the adjustable cam sprockets and the intake sprocket adapter is installed 180 degree from where its supposed to be and when i was aligning the numbers on the sprockets as per the service manual it was out of whack. Im going to get the intake cam sprocket reinstalled on the correct rotation. and have another go.
Oh and one for the first timers...........align the cam bearing with the clip in the head and recheck and recheck! I learnt the hard way.................
