Paul,
I also got my cam back from ISKY. But did not get a spec sheet on the
cam. Did you get one with it? It is best to get a degree wheel and check it
that way. Also look at your old gear and see how it was placed on the cam.
You should be able to get it pretty close. Again, it is best with a degree
wheel.
When you get the wheel it will tell you how to get TDC.

Subject: TR6 cam/timing chain
Grettings fellow listers; got my cam back from Isky. It looks real nice.
My question concerns the reinstallation of the timing chain. The Hanyes
manual shows the cam sprocket gear as being marked to match the face of
the cam. Nice, but the replacement gear isn't marked at all!
How can I be sure that I get the new gear on right?
Also, the manual makes no mention of where the crank should be (ie, #1
at TDC) in relation to the cam postion. Am I going to have to buy a
degree wheel and set it up that way?
The engine is on a stand with the head off, so I'd like to get this
right the first time, not when it's back in the car! Any help welcomed!
