Hey guys!
Ive dusted off the 83 GTI Mk1(JH motor/CIS) and have been restoring it slowly but surely. Its been 10 yrs since I did a Timing belt on this car and the bentley book does not help.
I saw the other post but my sitution is unique.
Ok here is my dilema my crankshaft pulley does not have any marks on it to align with the intermediate shaft dimple. Not sure why but its never been there. Ive seen it on other Jh motors but my pulley has no marks so you cannot line the intermediate shaft and crank pulleys up to make life easy.
I cant recall if the alignment mark on the bellhousing(the V that protrudes off the housing) Lines up with the V notch(dead center of hole) cut into the flywheel for TDC of slightly to the notched bump to the right is TDC see picture
I tried the straw in the #1 cylinder but its not as accurate as I need to get TDC for 100%.
The other issue is the mark on the distributor housing for #1 cylinder reference is not 100% lined up. Does that mean my intermediate shaft sprocket is 1 tooth off? See the black mark to the left of the rotor on the dizzy housing by the braided fuel lines going to warm up reg.....thats #1 alignment mark
see pic
here is what alldata/bentley gives you
does my dizzy look lined up to you guys or 1 tooth off.
Is the V groove on the flywheel TDC or 10 mm to the right of that is TDC?
The Cam sprocket it easy.....
