I have done a 1.5 to 1.6 conversion. everything is good. I started the car the other day for the first time. It was really hard to start. I double checked the time and everything else that could make this problem. Came up with nothing. So i was told that with everything timed properly the crank pully will be lined up with the white mark and the cam gear will be lined up with the 2 marks that are at 9 and 3 o clock parallel to the head. So then the dot on the cam gear should be up and also should be right where the wood drift key is.(Is this right?) So back to everything lined up right. The dot on the cam gear was not up. So I took the cam gear off and found out that the wood drift key was broken. The cam gear must have moved...right? I got the broken piece out off the cam but now the rest of it won't come out of the cam gear. My question is does anyone have a picture of the cam gear on the motor without the bolt on??? I would like to see if the dot is suppose to be where the wood drift key is. any help would be appreciated.
