(It eliminated the need for a helper or breaker bar and bungie cords to hold them from their 12 o'clock off-lobe position as per Barts write-up.) Set the belt to the correct position on both cam sprokets and then rotate the sprockets back to time, tensioning the belt in the process.
If the cam is out of time it can take up to 9 full turns to put it back in time.So if you were to turn it 1 full turn the cam would be out of time.Yes you can turn it a little to line up the belt but I would not move it anymore than that unless you want to make alot more work for yourself. shawn
