[contact at american racing re: 4X140 rims]

Last time I checked these were about $800 AUD a set and are a standard fitting for L-series in the 15x6. A group buy and combined shipping might make them viable for the US.

[Cam timing without belt covers]

I've checked out lots of threads about cam timing and I'm pretty sure I've got mine right, but I'm not 100% sure because I don't have belt covers installed. I had a look at Miles' tech article which has bare belts but that also references belt cover timing marks.

 

Is there something I can align the cam pulley holes with?

 

I know the pulley holes are supposed to align "one up - one down" but without a reference point the alignment is relative to how you hold you head and which eye you look through

 

I thought maybe it's possible to count the belt teeth? Maybe ok for turbo side but nightmare on dizzy side

 

My car goes ok at the moment, but I had some funky stuff happen after replacing a distributor cap and rotor which resulted the ignition timing going completely AWOL. I suspect I jumped a tooth on a cam.......

[anyone run without Tbelt covers? ea82T]

I leave 'em off

 

Also left 'em off the old 2l OHC Escort (Pinto)
