1.9 Timing Pin Location

[pp205 17]

Hi all, my head gasket has recently gone, this is now repaired but we are putting everything back together and are currently stuck on the timing pin location. Does anyone know of a step by step guide to timing anywhere on the web? Have been searching for the last hour or so but with no luck!

The cam timing pin can't be fitted wrongly but the flywheel pulley, although it has a choice of three holes, its the middle (& only one thats 10mm) that you need.

 

A picture of the correct crank timing pin in use is here.

Hi graham thanks for the info, behind the pulley there seems to be 2 holes on the block at 11 o clock and 12 o clock positions, we think it is the left hand or 11 o clock one that we should be using, is this right?

Thanks again for your help

On the block there should be a slot that the timing pin sits in but it could've been snapped so you will only see one side of it but with the plastic cover fitted it will only go through in one place.

I think the plastic cover might be the problem as I don't have one!

Heres a pic of mine with one side of the slot snapped:

 

The dowel goes to the right of the shiney bit.

Thats brilliant thanks Rick, should have it all back together and running by the end of the day! Thanks to Graham again as well.

Should have another week or 2 of driving before something else breaks knowing my luck!!
