Is this oil pump shaft wrong??

[jesusno2]

I do belive it's off a tooth I think?? have a look the motor is on the compression stroke tdc

From what I remember when I did my head gasket, it looks right.

 

Check out this video....Hainz explains it.

I'm guessing that's an L16

[jesusno2]

yea.... that video not good for us poor bastards using wifi connections to the internet it would take 2 years to watch that vid lol!

[kansascity1]

sorry, but like I said as far as I can remember it looks right.

[yello620]

looks right to me too. Have you tried it a gear in either direction?

it does look a little off. maybe one tooth to the right might help. but then again i ahven't really messed with an L motor much. i am going off my own experiance with my L16.

slightly more to the right(clockwise)

dial up the crank to Zero keeping it tight then ck your cam marks and the oil/dist spindal.

if using a screwdriver or stright edge the line will be right of top hole left on bottom hole

or as shown here

 

I can send a vid if you like.PM your full name and address

I have been batting a BIG Zero for cash flow back(maybe send 5/10$ back) from the last 5 DVDs sent out

Is the 1st and second lobe of your cam at 10 and 2 oclock, second are you at TDC meaning your 1st piston is at TDC..I used an ol skool trick, turn the crnk using a socket, I think its 19-21 mm. place some toilet paper inside spark plug #1, when are nearing TDC or at TDC the toilet paper will pop out. You can also stick your finger, screw driver or something in #1 and you will feel it rising. This is hard to do if you have to turn the crank...requires 2 people.

 

To answer your question, it looks very close to 11.25 position. some say 11.28 but I have an ol skool datsun book and it says 11.25 position relative to time that is.

 

Good luck....

[banzai510(hainz)]

well really you dont even have to do that.

Open the oil cap and that is #1 intake lobe. Clk the Starter till the camlobe gets close to 9 o clock position. then grab the crank with your hands and turn clock wise till the Crank intend lines up with the pointer(zero)

and thats TDC. then ck cam and spindal

[jesusno2]

Well I did have the valve cover off cause I was making sure the cam was right. It looks right according to the book but both #1 valves are closed and the piston is up on the compresion stroke I also noticed the dist rotor is not quite pointing at #1 on the cap so that's why I was asking if it looked wrong.

One indication its off a tooth on the spindal is you have the dizzy crank all the way to one side to get it close to being timmed. or sometimes the timming plate 8mm bolt is loose and the plate also can be moved to one side preventing you full movement or lack of movement.
