Hello, your videos are always a big help! I'm installing my cam gears and am doing my timing today, do the marks on the pulley wheels have to be a certain way when installing the cam gears? I have a cam locking tool and understand the wheels have marks to line up when setting the timing so I'm curious if they should be installed in a certain direction?
Hey I appreciate it. Please sub :) I’ll be getting this engine back in the car in the spring and shooting HPDE videos then. Anyway, I’d recommend getting everything lined up as possible. The camshafts have pins that stick out and the cam gears have a specific notch for the pins to fit into. You can line the gears up and that’ll make it obvious how the camshafts should sit while you torque down the cam caps. Pin locations are approximately at these positions: Pass intake: 2 o clock Driver intake 12 o clock Pass exhaust 2 o clock Driver exhaust 3 o clock Good luck!
@@WeekendgaragerAwesome man I'm all done! I really do appreciate the reply, I had used a slightly thicker ring seal on my intake Camshafts and wasn't able to properly seat the dowel into my cam gear. Let's just say I was scratching my head for a good while before figuring it out hahah!
is there a video out there with the proper tool for this removal? Seems like all use the timeing belt.
I literally have the “proper” way to remove in the second video. Timing belt is my go to because I can do it alone.

Yeah intake is definitely more of a pain.
Can this be done with engine in car ???
Yes, remove radiator and fans for space.
Will just any timing belt(from any engine) work?
As long as the teeth mesh into the timing gear pulleys. It's crucial to mesh or the belt will definitely slip.
