Thread: 322 cam timing

  1. #1

    322 cam timing

    Hi, I'm putting a new cam chain and sprockets on my nailhead 322. I just want to check and see if this is the correct method for setting the cam timing.
    Cylinder no 1 on TDC and cam keyway facing straight down. This gives 13 cam chain link pins between the dots on the cam gear and the crank gear.
    This is how it was when I pulled it apart.
    Seems like a strange setup. Is this correct?
    Cheers

    Looks like this is a tricky question. Is there not one engine builder here?
