   Any photos of what model pulley you have? They normaly have a mark grid on them. The cam manufacture will be able to give you the cam timing if you tell them what model you have. Or you can normally just look it up on there web page with most cam manufactures.

   you sure theyre even piper pulleys? gtis have adjustabls as standard, and youd need to know the spec of the camshaft to time them up correctly

   found out why the timing has slipped , the key one crank pully has sheard, removed head and its bent every valve like a banana, just had a look through his paperwork and last time it was on rollers it made 176bhp, would it need a upgraded head gasket on rebuild?

   Any good quality gasket should do as long as you should go for one the same thickness
