Quick question in prep for wrestling on the cam sprocket…

I had a thin line on the points end of the cam on the 400, I don’t appear to have anything except this notch, I presume that’s the mark is it?
If so, do Ione up the bottom of the notch with the shite face of the top of my head? Would that be the correct way?

Just checking as I can’t find a ref just yet….

T mark on 1-4 on advance retard mechanism and notch level with head pointing forward

Middle of notch level with gasket surface in your pic cam needs to rotatebackwards probably 1 tooth on the sprocket

[Laverdaroo]

Theres no sprocket on it I just laidthe cam in before I locked up last night and noticed it as shown.
I realosed I should have spun it a bit for the shot but couldnt be bothered to go out again to take another . I havent seen this before so hence the question. I'd asumed that it should sit with the bottom of the notch level with the surface of the head.

Ive not got as far as the A/R mech, that was tonights job but just got home so I think thats torn it for 'ce soir'.
Cheers fellas, I'll set it up if I get a vahnce but realstically I dont think I'm going to get a chance before I leave.

Cheers

Yes, that’s right Roo. Notch parallel to head. You probably won’t be able to get the chain on with the cam in that position though. The trick is to engage the cam wheel on the chain in a guesstimated location then locate one of the two cam bolts. A slow rotation will allow you to locate the 2nd bolt. Then check the the 1:4 timing position and cam slot. You will soon see if you have to step one tooth back or forward. Observe the manual carefully and make sure you start the process with the cam wheel, chain and cam as illustrated…it makes the difference.

[Nurse Julie]

Is it the neutral switch contact?

Yes Phil, that's correct.

[Sesman]

Thank goodness. When Roo mentioned “gear selection” I nearly fainted wondering what I’d left out.
