hi to all , now in a position of fitting the cam belt on my 2.8 stroker ,but have a tech question to ask .....
with the crank on the T.D.C mark and the cam pulley lined up to the indentation mark on the end of the head can any one confirm that this will not be correct or 180degrees out ?!? iv put on and tensioner and the belt and it turns over by hand ok but just need to be sure before i progress further and find out that its not right
