Hi Guys, just after some clarification here.

Above vehicle shredded an aux belt and wrapped around the cambelt, slipping the cambelt and bent ALL the valves.

Anyhow, autodata doesnt have the technical data for me to clarify the TDC.

So... Flywheel locked through hole in block. Cylinder 2 and 3 are at the top. 1 and 4 at the bottom?

Is this correct as im sure the woodruff key on the crank should point upwards and not down, also the crank pulley has spun so i cant use that to check.

Forgive me for my nievity, but dont wanna lobb a ahead back on to find the timings not right. Thanks.

TDC on "Frenchies" is always cyl.1 (Fly end) at TDC so I can't believe that's right? You sure there's not two timing holes?

The Crank pulley lock always puts them at half way, so that if the cams were to slip, it'll prevent them touching the pistons, obviously you still run the risk of bashing them into each other... The Woodruff key should point backwards when the crank pulley is locked.

Lock the cam pulleys and work out what's coming up next with the valves if you catch my drift?

The only other locking hole in the fly puts 2 at different levels and not in-line. EG 1/3 down and 1/3 up (ish)

I've got the head off my 1.8 at the moment and locked off at the crank pulley, all cylinders sit level half way up the bores. I've also had it running like this (second time the head had come off ) and it ran spot on.
Don't know if this helps!

Yeah it helps... it just clarifys what i've just done.

Anyhow, ive set all pistons level and 'tdc'... looked at the cambelt pulley and spotted a tippex mark that lines up with another. That'll do me

Now to finish building up the head and re-fit 2moro morn

I had to lock off my xu10j4 from the crank.( aux belt side) when i locked it off from the flywheel it didnt seem right to me. Its ran absolutly fine ever since

And there was me hoping the bottom end was foobbered so i could sell you that too

haha, cheeky sod!

Hehe yep thats me
