Pleae Verify My Cam Install....

[Guest]

1982 TSCC 16V
Just finished putting the cams in, but it does not look right to me?
Can my fellow expert members on the forum take a look at the photos and help??

Timing mark on T, 20 Links separate the 2 marks, but the ends of the cams do not look correct to me.

The "1" mark on exhaust cam (I can't see it) should be pointing level with gasket surface- this will bring the slots on cams ends "pointing" at each other. Then do the 20 pin stuff.
Please wait for confirmation from someone else.
Here's a pic from a guy down under- his pin count might be different though

Better check if that's the 1-4 T mark or the 2-3, and agree with looking at that 1 mark on the exhaust cam. The notch on the exhaust cam seems to be angling down, so my guess is your 1 mark is going to be below the gasket surface.

Although I'm counting 20 between 2 and 3, I'll add another voice to the crowd asking where is the number 1 mark located?

Yeah I think I stayed up too late working in this. Sure enough the #1 mark is below the gasket surface! Going to pull off and start over.

Thanks for the help guys.

My GS1000G, but it sounds like the numbers are the same

Thanks Flyboy. I have had these cams on and off like 10 times and for the life of me cannot seem to get it right. Right now I took a step away to ponder. I can get the 1 lined up...this leaves the 2 arrow on pin #1, but it is at the back of the link on the chain on not the front...is that ok?

Suzuki Manual shows this:



Clymers show this:

Makes no difference if it is on the front or back pin of the link, as long as you have 20 pins from mark to mark and both marks are pointing up at 90 degrees to the casing and parallel to each other

Remember to turn the engine by hand to check for interference first before you fire it up.

I got it! Thanks for the help! Plan is to have it going next weekend.

Thanks all!
