How to align the timing of the new Santana?
1 Answers
New Santana timing method: 1. Align the crankshaft according to the marks on the crankshaft timing pulley, generally requiring the No. 1 cylinder piston to be at top dead center position. 2. Install the camshaft timing pulley marks to align the camshaft, with dual camshafts aligning both camshaft positions respectively. 3. Install the timing belt/chain properly. Below are detailed instructions: The engine timing gears only have marks on the camshaft gear, with no marks on the other gears. First, rotate the engine to bring cylinders 1 and 6 to top dead center. Then assemble all gears except the camshaft gear, observing the marks on the engine block to align the camshaft gear mark with this mark. Next, rotate the engine to about 22 degrees before top dead center, adjust the fuel injection pump to the state where the No. 1 cylinder just starts to discharge fuel, and tighten the screws.
