Afternoon guys I have a major issue with the timing on one of my builds. Triumph 6T pre unit.
I was a moron and didn't take pictures or log the position of the cam shafts when I took the engine apart. (I wasn't aware of the fact that the cam has three sets of timing marks/ available positions)
My question is which way should the woodruff key sit in relation to the crank at tdc.
As you can see I currently have it timed with the woodruff key at the double timing marks on the cogs (so pointing at the crank). Timed like this the engine binds up between pistons and valves.
For some reason triumph has three positions where the engine can be timed too.
The Haynes manual is no help as it doesn't mention what slot of the three the cams should be in the cog and all Google searches throw up engines all timed differently.
Any help much appreciated and apologies for being the class idiot for today.
