Perfect Timing: Tune No Limit 2

When working on your engine, perfect timing is crucial to ensure optimal performance and prevent any damage. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adjusting your camshaft's timing alignment.

To begin, locate the bridge intake or exhaust end and lift it up as necessary to align with the camshaft hole. Insert the bridge alignment dowel through the bridge hole and into the camshaft alignment hole. Make sure to note that E corresponds to intake and A corresponds to exhaust in German, as well as the orientation of the bridge's intake and exhaust.

Next, install the vanos alignment bridge without the alignment dowel on the engine head between cylinders 2 and 3. Loosen all sprocket hub bolts using a 10mm ratcheting wrench. This will allow for easy rotation and adjustment.

With the camshaft at its adjustment end position, rotate it counter-clockwise until you reach the correct timing mark. Place an open wrench (24mm combo wrench) on the camshaft hex at the front of the camshaft. Install a crankshaft locking pin in the timing cover bracket hole to secure the camshaft in place.

Now, loosen the sprocket hub's top mounting bolts using the same 10mm ratcheting wrench. This will allow for the crankshaft pulley to be adjusted precisely to align with the TDC timing marks. Use a crankshaft turning socket and long-arm ratchet extension to achieve this.

Once you have reached the correct timing mark, turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise one full rotation until it matches again. Now, perform the timing adjustment for camshafts with incorrect timing alignment.

Before proceeding, ensure your engine is in its end position, with the crankshaft at TDC and the lock pin removed. The intake and exhaust camshafts should be pointing towards each other at a 45-degree angle.

If you find that your timing alignment is incorrect, follow these steps to adjust it:

1. Remove the VANOS alignment bridge.

2. Rotate the camshaft counter-clockwise until you reach the correct timing mark.

3. Loosen the sprocket hub's top mounting bolts again.

4. Adjust the crankshaft pulley accordingly.

And that's it! With these steps, you should be able to adjust your camshaft's timing alignment with ease. Remember to take your time and follow each step carefully to ensure a smooth and successful adjustment process.
