#2there should be be a hole in the camshaft pulley which you can time up by rotating the cam so that it lines up with a hole in the head then make sure the no1 piston is at tdc by inserting the locking pin in the flywheel should really have replaced the belt when changing the headgasket first of all bit of a bodge job otherwise

#4oh dear oh dear oh dear, why do friends always volunteer to do jobs that they aren't up to, if they find a saxo engine difficult to time up then the world is doomed1 user thanked this post:
