Re: Oil pressure
OBG are you saying to ignore the fly wheel marks, a notch with dotted line either side and just line up the v notch on the clutch housing, that is confusing to say the least why

Re: Oil pressure
I recon your engine isn't original or maybe just the flywheel, and OBG,s timing mark picture is the marks I use!
I dont think, so I'm not[do I exist?]

Re: Oil pressure
The timing marks are not on the flywheel - it is the notch on the pressure plate only. The plate goes on the flywheel only one way so is in the correct position.

Re: Oil pressure
Okay, so back to work then. I will see if i can set up the engine using the fly wheel mark. Life is a b*tch sometimes, just when you think you are getting somewhere the rug is pulled from beneath your feet

Re: Oil pressure
Don't use the flywheel mark - it will be about 20 degrees out!
Look for the correct mark on the cover, you will know when you are getting close to it when you see the first lug/tab that sticks up.

Re: Oil pressure
ObG what a man, spot on, put it all together and after a few turns fired up nicely. Still smoky a bit but will take a look at the pump timing next and that darn fuel screw i played with before.
Thanks to every and their very valued input, much appreciated folks,
