Get some recommendations on what settings the fixed sprockets should be. Or get some stock ones and re-install, Stock ones will greatly improve fuel economy at part throttle openings.

fgxrsux New Member 22 Member For: 7y 15d Posted 15/06/18 11:39 AM Author Share Posted 15/06/18 11:39 AM didn't move the chain at all. had the cams pinned the whole time. I assume if it was a tooth out I would hit a valve and it wouldnt go?

Didn't you check the timing? What settings did you use for the cams?

You can't set it up without them. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93988-timing-cover-removal/page/3/#findComment-1659283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgxrsux New Member 22 Member For: 7y 15d Posted 20/06/18 11:51 AM Author Share Posted 20/06/18 11:51 AM yeah I got it, I assumed the noise was from the broken guide and tensioner but it looks like the left cam is wayyy out. thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93988-timing-cover-removal/page/3/#findComment-1659284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt be bothered turning the crank for the markings to line up exact. But you can see that the sprockets are at the correct spacing.
