Trying to lin up the cam and crank shaft, there are no marks on the head for teh cam to line up to, should it be pointing straight down, the only info I can find is for a second gen 2lt.

There will be a small hole in the spokes of the cam pulley which lines up with a notch at the top of the head and the notches on the sides of the pulley should line up with the surface of the top of the head.

I'm guessing that if your putting a new timing chain you did your cogs as well
The manual I've got for the 3Y motor (2lt petrol) says (in alot more words and pic's :roll:

)
align both crank and cam shafts so that the keyways are facing up (if you had replaced the cogs you would find alignment marks for this on the inside cover)
The new chain should have two links marked about oposite each other on the chain with the cogs still aligned from install (keyways facing straight up) you should have a mark on the crank cog roughly at the bottom and on the cam cog at about 11:30 when you put the chain on the two marked links should match to these cog marks

Clear as mud :lol:

hope that was a bit of help

:twisted:

Oh buy the way thats the same motor I had in the lemon before all the fun started.... good luck

Cheers Reece

Here's a pic of a 2LTE, my guess is the timing mark on the cam should be of opposite direction to that of the fuel pump. Just a guess though.

This is a pic of my 2LTE. The timing marks for the cam and fuel pump are opposite to those shown in the above pic

Just put a new belt in my 2lte and the marks were as per the first photo. Although mine is now refusing to start with a clunky noise from the head (oh joy :roll:

) so if any one has any bright ideas as to how or why please look at post I NEED HELP!! itwouldbe greatly appreciated

In the above photo the small hole in the spoke of the cambelt pulley should be straight up from the pulley bolt, there will be a notch in the top of the crank pulley that will ine up with a mark in the alloy housing behind it.
The fuel pump pulley should then line up its marks on the top of the pulley also.
Once you have them all lined up mark them with some white paint or marker so you can see if they move easily.

I hope this helps.
