Hi Guys,Brought a GTi6 which has a snapped cambelt and in need of some information. How do you go about timing the engine back up? Is there an order to it such as time the cams then lock them in and then lock in the flywheel? Is there any order which needs to be done and also what needs to be timed back up. Thanks for your help, Luke |

Look in the FAQ section...It will need a head rebuild if the belt has snapped, it's guaranteed to have bent some valves. You will have a tapper if not done properly. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Ok ... had a look through the FAQ Section at some of the guides and think I have answered my question of how you retime an engine that is out of time ...seems from what I read that you just lock it off as you do when changing a cambelt so there is no specific order that things have to be done to retime it. Am I right in thinking that guys? Thanks, Luke |
