As MGR electronically detuned the 177 to 160Ps (same cams) then they could have done the same with the 190 to create the 180 (same cams). If so, then ... Quote:
As you said earlier, it's madness to have different timing such that the rear marks cannot be aligned. Quote:

[QUOTE=SD1too;2401095
I agree with you that if the inlet camshaft rear sprocket is the same on all engines, then the notch must be in the same place in order for the mark to be at the nine o'clock position. However, the cam lobes can be cast further around the circumference of the camshaft to achieve different timing. Does that make sense (I hope so)? Simon[/QUOTE] Yes it makes sense, except the 180 and 190 cams are identical - ie the lobes to slots will be in the same place on both. |

There are so many different threads covering the KV6 belt change, but I wish I'd read the various posts here before posting some questions in other threads. However, this is the first time I'd seen the comment made by Phil here. Just done mine (2-litre) using the tools and noticed as expected the rear camwheel marks did not line up on the front bank yet they did on the rear bank. Wondered if I'd let something slip while doing the front belt, or whether this alignment discrepancy is due to the V6 configuration - I think it is. However will check the front tools again tomorrow. What is needed is a definitive write up of this job as a 'sticky'. So much has been written and so many queries raised and points made that I suspect many members are being put off from doing what is actually a straightforward job if the official tools are used. |

THanks Chris, I did look at it, so easy when the engine is not in the car. The job is actually quite straight-forward (needs someone to write a 'how to' in the technical advice section), main difficulty being acces for some jobs and the fact that cables and pipes get in the way and risk damage to themselves. Job now on hold til weather warms up ,fortunately I have my £140 'spare' KV6 which just keeps going!
