Thread: cant figure out this darn timing chain

hello, i recently bought another 92 se-r after my first one got rear ended, i swapped all the parts that where not ruined from my other one ( front /rear sway and strut bars, hot shot header, wheel spacers, short shifter, camber chaster plates, kyb adjustable coil overs w/ ground control adjustable dampeners) and took her for a spin just to find out that the retard before me disconnected the fans! needless to say i blew a head gasket. i got every thing set up and takin off using the factory service manual but my probelme lies in the fact that i cant seem to get the cams crank and chain mating markes to all line up.

the fsm says to have the crank key facing ant 12 o'clock.... done

have the gold chain on the timming chain on the crank sproket mating marck at 4 o'clock .....done

it says that the 2 silver chains are sapose to line up with the cam sproets mating marks and the left hand key is sapose to be facing at 12 o'clock and the right one is saposed to be at 10 o'clock, but mine left one is at 10 ant my right one is at 12 .....what did i do wrong????

Did you swap the cam sprockets? =D
Or maybe the cams themselves?

By left, do you mean the intake cam? And as far as right you mean exhaust, correct?

If so, that sounds correct. Pretty much every motor I worked on and have seen, the cams are at 10 o'clock (intake) and 12 o'clock (exhaust).

ok i figured it out the guy at the parts store gave me a chain for a b20, went back and got a new one and and its all good now thanks

what a fuckin reatard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck.imdrunx
