Hi Chris, I’ve never used Loctite on a cam or half time pinion nut and never had one come loose. I never use a torque wrench either, but that’s just me. Good videos! 👍🏻
Hi; regarding the EX camshaft gear; actually is 17 gaps; teeth are for the intermediate gear; anyway; that amount is the other factory mark; not new mark as you needed to do with the IN (an implied "C" mark) so you advanced the IN and retarded the EX? Regarding the torque; bear in mind that almost all the manuals are misprinted and never ever will be 75 ftlbs. For example; the crankshaft pinion nut is stated as 80ftlbs! but besides says 5.6kgm and that is right so about 40 -45 ftlbs max so this other nuts are less than 40 also are LH threads so never ever will come loose.
@@Chris.rooke150..I think that you started with the factory marks; so if you move the inlet to the other mark (the dot) would be retarding the camshaft opening
Hi there, I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'the other mark'. I wasn't moving the camshaft pinions round to any mark, I was just moving them round to the next available keyway (which is 17 teeth/gaps) from the original standard factory marks. As each keyway adjusts the valve timing by about 18 degrees moving them round one keyway provided the correct reading. I never adjusted the timing to any given mark, just to the next keyway.
Yes, probably, but be aware that the pinion isn't moved to the dot, it's rotated 1/3 of the way round to the next available slot for the Woodruff key on the camshaft.
@@Chris.rooke150 Hi; I say that if you start with the factory mark (dash to dash); remove it and count 17 gaps CCW; that is the other mark stamped on the pinion; the DOT; so is 9.6º retarded

Thanks for that info. Regarding the timing I advanced both the inlet and exhaust cams.
