280z Timing Mark Pic Request

[beebeecivic]

I have been searching and searching for a pic of the "notch" on the cam pulley required to set the timing. I have looked at the fsm and haynes manual but I need a actual picture of what it looks like.

 

Any help would be nice thanks!

 

btw I checked on hybrid with no luck :(

sorry 72. I didnt make it clear enough. I was looking for the one for ignition timing the one with the 0 10 20 marks.

It's very small. Set motor on TDC or as close as you can and feel around the pulley edges near the timing scale bolted on the timing cover.

NP glad Mike hooked you up :-). Thats what threw me off though. Crank pully or harmonic balancer would be better.

They are too high and mighty to take the time. I have been on there 5 years, just gets worse and worse....

I had the pulley picks up and then saw you posted a cam sprocket so I tore them down and put up a sprocket... only to see it wasn't right... tore it all down again and put up the crank pulley again. It was ambiguous. :D

I know it's a little late, but now that you've found it, mark it white.

 

Paint would be the best, or use a piece of chalk. In a pinch you can use kitty-litter or even some gypsum from drywall.

 

Just scratch it in there, and wipe the rest off that didn't get pushed into the notch.

 

Hope this helps...
