As mentioned in earlier mails, I did my camblet but the timing mark on the inlet cam did not line up, it was one tooth out. I fitted the new cambelt exactly the same and must say that the sprocket do not turn that easy even if the belt is off. I've done cambelt on vauxhall and hondas and theay always seem to try and turn when your not looking.

Getting back to my problem, the timing mark was bothering me and i double checked it by removing the distributor cap, rotor arm and driving plate and the timing was spot on with one tooth out. There is an of-centre driving slot for the rotor arm and this must be parallel to the centre line of the cambox/head .


Thus I assume someone undid the pulley and never bothered to lign up the mark.
