Help with timing on vts

[Cockney1968]

Cam belt snapped & knacked most of the valves so off with the head and replaced all the valves, head is back on but not sure about setting the timing back up as i have both the cam belt pulleys locked in place but the crank wheel has a line on it and does not line up with anything around the engine block or locks into place, an anyone help...heers

think there is a flywheel locking hole 8mm drill bit at the front of the engine.

if you aint sure if the crank is 180 degrees out take out number 1 spark plug and stick a long screwdriver in the hole to rest on the piston turn the crank forward and back a few degrees the piston should be at the top of its travel at tdc and you should be able to find the locking holes, if not your 180 degrees out

if this is wrong please feel free to take the pee out of me ;)

Sorted the timing out cheers found the locking hole for the flywheel, wasnt easy but all done but car now wont start there is no spark at all going to the coilpack, coil pack is brand new & so are the plugs...any suggestions?????

You did do the timing belt properly cus if timing is out i heard wont start at all ? once it lined up use something to mark the timing in correct position for future reference :)

Have you put back in the hall effect sensor? Otherwise known as the crank position sensor.

Checked maxi fuses all ok, guy from a garage recons ive put the cams in incorrect, he recons ive put in the exhaust cam on the inlet side & inlet side on the exhaust side...could this be right???:

Help... Ive got a vts and had the cams out, since I have put them back the car wont start, a guy from a garage rekons ive put the exhaust cam on the inlet side and inlet cam on the exhaust side is this right cause I was also told it dont matter wot side they went???

[Cockney1968]

Help, found out the cams were in the wrong way round so swapped them & car fired up but sounded rough as f**k. The car ran for about 2 hours then cut out again like it did when the cam belt snapped, checked cambelt all is fine, could there have been any damage to the valves when the cams were in the wrong way round ???
