So I did move the cam sprocket while trying to remove it, what do I do from here?
How much torque on cam gear bolt install please buddy ?
What about the opposite side?
If I have already removed the timimg belt and pullies and the rotated the crank into alignment, how to I rotate the camshafts into position?
Pardon any ignorance. Following along with your videos to install Kuks oil pressure switch adaptor. Got to this part and had aligned the sprockets correctly but after I took the timing belt off I turned around and the right sprocket was off like yours the next time I looked at it. Is that ok? Just curious why the outside sprockets can “get off”. Any clarity on that would be great!
Thank you for this video! I'm about ready to do the timing belt / pump / cam & crank seal job on my EJ253 subie, was worried about potentially spinning the camshafts when removing the sprockets. Assuming the cam sprockets are spun (and the crank is correctly aligned), is there a particular direction they need to be spun to have their marks re-aligned? (clockwise vs counterclockwise) Also, since you've done the job and have a feel for it, are they pretty easy to spin or do they provide some resistance? Thanks again for the tutorial, and any advice.
You are making a good content brother.. Thankyou …
