The relationship between TDC and the marker on the damper are defined by the crankshaft, not the cam. #1 will be at TDC when the marker lines up even if there is no camshaft installed.


Assuming the engine is sitting in its normal position (vertical, not lying on its side on your bench) then the Dots on the cam gear and crank gear (also, the keyway on the cam and the keyway on the crank) should both be at 12 o'clock (shop manual A.25, reassembling (2).  See fig A21 in the shop manual.) According to that picture I counted 15 links on the chain between the two dots (including the lonks on the teeth by the dots). Assuming all that is correct, The distributer should point to #1.


Good luck.


Ed Reiss

You have installed the cam chain incorrectly. I assume you have the workshop manual. Look in section A.25 for the correct procedure.

To Bob Begani,


If the screw head was drilled off and the drilling was close to center, the easiest fix is to drill through the old screw starting with a small pilot and working up to a size near the original bolt size and then run a thread tap through. I believe these screws are a 5/16" x 24 thread. If the hole is not aligned perfectly you may sacrifice a little of the thread on one side of the hole. Worst case is that you end up drilling it out oversize and inserting a helicoil.

As promised, the latest brain-teaser in my own particular Healey saga!

Three pics of the afflicted area.  Note experimental high-tech, temporary light-green brace (Ahem!)

Hole in chassis welded in, to be ground flat for re-attachment of handbrake pivot.

Traces of the works weld still visible, so correct location no problem!

Hi David:

Just so happens I have the Tunnel available for your viewing pleasure. See
attached photos of the bracket.  My emergency brake has not been on the car
for several years as the cable broke.  I could not put the brake on the
bracket because the head of one of the screws was drilled out to get it off.
My next project is to get the frozen screw out and then find a reasonable
replacement.

Hello Per



I thought about that, but as No 1 is at top dead centre when the pointer is towards the notch in the harmonic balancer I can?t see how it can be.



Many thanks

Perhaps someone has come across this before.



About to start the engine in the BN3 after a complete rebuild. The engine is a very early C-series six-cylinder and the rebuild included new bearings throughout, pistons, sleeves, valves, vernier adjustable timing chain etc.

So it?s not 180 degrees out, but 120 degrees.



Of course you could get around it by changing the spark plug leads, but the result looks untidy. An alternative is to rotate the geared shaft drive clockwise by 120 degrees.



Any suggestions?

When you install the chain you should have the key ways of both crankshaft and camshaft approximately at TDC. This is not the same as having piston 1 at TDC. Then you should place the bright links of the chain on the marked teeth on the sprockets and push them home on the shafts. Rather than copying the whole section A21 I urge you to read it again. I think it?s the TDC thing that you mixed up.

Climb inside and have some one you trust close the boot lid and use a flashlight to see what is going on. Years ago I got inside my boot on my 67 BJ8 to see where the lid seal wasn't contacting the shroud rim so I could adjust the sheet metal to make contact. I had a problem with road dust collecting in the trunk (boot) and there were a couple of places where it didn't touch the seal. Unless you are a realy big person, you should be able to fit inside. Take pics with a cell phone or digital camera.

I don't remember if the mark on the damper is located on the center, fixed, portion or the outer. rubber suspended, portion. If the latter then maybe the damper has slipped out of register.

Hello Per



I thought about that, but as No 1 is at top dead centre when the pointer is towards the notch in the harmonic balancer I can?t see how it can be.



Many thanks

You have installed the cam chain incorrectly. I assume you have the workshop manual. Look in section A.25 for the correct procedure.

Greetings



Perhaps someone has come across this before.



About to start the engine in the BN3 after a complete rebuild. The engine is a very early C-series six-cylinder and the rebuild included new bearings throughout, pistons, sleeves, valves, vernier adjustable timing chain etc.



When setting the timing all the settings were done by the book. Tappets at 12 thou, the pointer on the timing chain cover is pointing to the notch in the harmonic balancer, the gear shaft drive from the oil pump/camshaft is at 20 to 2 and the offset distributor drive is correct. Number 1 piston is top dead centre and the rocker gear is rocking.



Imaging please looking down at the open distributor and it?s a clock face. According to the book, the rotor button arm should be at 2 o?clock or firing No 1 spark plug.



However the rotor button is a 10 o?clock.



So it?s not 180 degrees out, but 120 degrees.



Of course you could get around it by changing the spark plug leads, but the result looks untidy. An alternative is to rotate the geared shaft drive clockwise by 120 degrees.



Any suggestions?



Thanks

Just to add one more thing to this thread, all of the new chains do not
have a "bright" link.  So look very carefully at the picture in the manual
and count the links between the dots. This is extremely important as it is
very easy to get it off by even one one tooth.  And one tooth, either way,
will have a dramatic effect on engine performance.  In either case, it will
be bad.

Yep, the cam timing is off. There should be 15 links between the marks on both the Cam and the crank pulley.

Further to the bracket, as the head was drilled off of the screw which would
not come off, I cut off the remainder with a dremel cutoff wheel, removed
the spacer and applied lots of PB blaster.  Using a mini Vise Grip pliers, I
got it to move, applied more PB and more movement.  Eventurally, the machine
screw come off. The problem is replacing the screws.  All I could obtain is
stainless steel phillips head screws with a much larger head.  So off to my
friend George, who measured the existing screw head, put it in the lathe and
determined the angle of the head is 43 degrees, so he slowly shaved off the
sides of the head until it resembled the original screw.  Fit perfectly.
