Grr....This is so annoying!!!
The timing mark is at 1.4, the camshaft is secured with 3 bearing caps. The sprocket is rotating on the shoulder of the camshaft. Im trying to make sense of the bigger picture here so I can repeat this process in the future. The digital service manual obtained from here is different from the book....so to me, I want to develop my own understanding on this....and importantly...document it somehow...
What do I do?????
Every time I move the sprocket one tooth either way....Either the dots end up way off, or there is slack in the chain and when the chain is tightened, the sprocket shifts ever so slightly enough so that afterwards...
Other observations:
Depending on which way I rotate the sprocket...The slack shifts to the other side of the sprocket, making things more complicated....so....AMC please help!!
Here is how I want to secure the assembly.....but....
The chain slack is on the right side in these pictures...and the slack makes the chain want to rotate clockwise.
Once the chain slack is removed at the back of the motor, here you can see the DOTS end up ever so slightly off
Which way should I entertain rotating the sprocket? Or should I give up and run while I can??...jk
I tried to mark the chain and sprocket as a reference so maybe I can be told which way to move...ugh..
