Just a heads up with priming the oil, no need to pull fuses on these. if you hold the gas pedal to the floor while cranking them it goes to a de-flood mode and you can crank away and prime it
Not sure about the tools for newer engines but at least on older diateibutor engines you can get a cheap priming tool and make it pretty easy to test initial preasure and make sure oil is filling the engine.
Good day. I am working on my sons 2012 fb25. In short I broke the woodruff key to align all up. Now I need to replace and chain needs to come off. I noticed after turning the crank several times I can not get the colored link to line up with the marks on the cam. I never removed chain yet witch is puzzling me . Have you seen this before? I do not think the chains jumped, however I do not want to damage anything. Your thoughts?
When you did the timing, did you only use the markings to line it up? Or did you have to specifically put one of the pistons at TDC. I’m like 99% sure I did the timing right on mine but something still isn’t working right, I’m having backfire through the intake and it also won’t start. Also what was the part about the plugs, were you implying the spark plugs? I’m going to be pulling my motor soon to send off the heads because I’m pretty sure my valves are mangled, and also check the rest of my engine block. Aside from the mangled valves my timing appears to be off because only one set of valves got mangled and the other side didn’t and it’s still backfiring and also has lower than acceptable compression. I imagine the lower compression is from either my timing being off or my valves getting mangled. I tried doing a leak down test but couldn’t quite seem to get the engine to TDC since it was still in the car, but it was leaking a bunch.
One side of my cam sprockets won’t sit in its proper place for timing. The top cam jumps counter clockwise and the bottom cam jumps clockwise, the arrow won’t stay pointing at each other. How do you get them to stay in proper timing?

Just bought a Frs might be coming your way soon. Just want to get it looked over and change the exhaust. I'll try to give you a call next week ! :-D

Can a wrong timing belt setup work well but creates knocking problems on cylinder 1 after warmup ?
Is there supposed to be a gasket or oring for the tensioner on that side?

The chain not holding these?
