Earlier engines had variable inlet timing also, not just 197/200
my typing was crap" meant to put 197/200 went to continuously variable timing whereas the 172/182 didnt!
yes, it's and ally cover with a C spring to push fit the shield into the starter itself
not the best description and could not find pictures
Ah that’s ok then, at least they did away with the floating crank pulley on these then! I’ve done loads of 172/182’s at my old place, never did a 197 or 200, I have bought a set of cam timing tools, tbh I rely on them for timing, then remove them and make sure they are still square and tune the engine over and then re-insert, need to drop in perfect or it’s start againThe 830/832 motors don't have a fully floating crank pulley ( only cams ), they are keyed to the crank . I just felt that pin in the side of the block hardly held it a TDC very accurately , there was lots of slop . The half moon cam locator also had slop in it , maybe my kit was just poorly made ?
I'm old school and would like to be able to put a dial gauge on the valve spring retainer .
I'm interested to know from someone who has done the cam timing with the catcam tool . At some stage I will try and make one , just need to try and understand the logicAh that’s ok then, at least they did away with the floating crank pulley on these then!
