Here is the camshaft alignment vs points alignment.
There are two lines against the F mark.
I am matched against the first one.
Moving the engine a few degrees brings up the second ..
Is this correct ?
I cannot seem to be able to release any tension on the camchain to walk a link around the sprocket to see what effect that has.... no amount of fiddling on the adjuster does anything. The chain is really tight.
It took me hours to get the sprocket off/on the other week.
