URGENT oil pressure stop engine

Crankshaft at tdc


In this pic it looks corectly timed


But then if I move the phone up or down


I think it looks most perpendicular in the second photo, which makes me think it is timed correctly

Unto the two bolts holding the top of the cam cover.  Then see where the rear of the tooth on the pulley lines up to.

UPDATE.

whilst turning the inlet cam anticlockwise I could push the locking tool in place with a little bit of force and it is now in correctly.

Il now remove the adjustor and start refitting the chain?

Sorted.

[Pesky jones]

Now I guess its a case of luck whether I get it timed up properley becauee I wont know untill its all back together and I turn it on???

Use tipex or paint to mark the chain and sprockets before removal - so you know you've made an adjustment.

[Pesky jones]

Have done :)

[doylebros]

Also check the back of the adjuster that the guide pin is still there just in case.

[Pesky jones]

So it the adjustor went on so much easier then last time, two seconds. The notches look more vertical and its one tooth different. You can see in the picture how it is now...


Note the tip ex on the sprocket and the chain

The guide pin is still there doylebros

[Pesky jones]

Locking tool also goes in nice and easy now

[doylebros]

That's the tensioner guide pin - check the back of the adjuster you removed the bolt from.
All positive though.

[Pesky jones]

Sorry dont think I explained properly, I didnt post that photo to show the tensioner pin, I posted it to show the sprocket is now on a different link of the chain.

I checked the adjustor tab that slots into exhaust camshaft and it is fine

[Pesky jones]

Well things were going well, so naturally something had to go wrong.

I thought id replace the o ring on the vacuum pump to see if that was the oil leak. When I I took it off the cam chain cover, it had no o ring at all! See before and after pictures for with and without o ring

Youll also see that when I was tightening the bolt for the vaccum pump back on to the cam chain cover its broke the bolt hole of the vaccum pump off.  New vacuum pump :(

I think im just going to put this one back on with two bolts (it only had two before anyway! Ones always been missing) and then replace the pump at a later date.

Thoughts?

Without o ring


With o ring

That photo without oring has an oring in unless my eyes are playing tricks.

[Pesky jones]

Well its not the same material and its built into it so its flush with the metal. Thr oring ive put on now is a perfect fit for the circumference and also it is actual sealing it before it wiuld have been metal on metal, here it is now


Il guess well see if it stops leaking!
