Vitos key timing mark

[geeessfore]

I'm trying to figure out if 4mm from the old timing mark is correct for the new timing with vitos key

Are you just trying to time it up? Just do it the same way you would if it had the stock key in it.

You will have a new mark on the flywheel with the vitos key. I'm asking if 4mm is correct

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Idk man, I'm not good with degrees relevant to mm, lol!

4* is a very small about. I've used the Vito's key in the past, and it roughly moves the flywheel 1/32" (ish) counter clockwise on the crank. Instead of lining up the timing marks perfectly, try moving the timing mark on the flywheel about 1/32" past the mark on the stator cover.

Well 1/32 is 1mm

Just use the actual timing mark on the gear behind the flywheel it's easier

No idea how to do that. I'm building a new engine and installing a vito key at same time. How can I set cam gear if I don't even know where tdc is on flywheel

 

[alex456123]

take the vito key out? time it with the stock key then put it back in. then once your done and timed with the vito key you can line it up with the cam gear then make a mark on the flywheel.

Ya that's what I figured I'd have to do since no one knows how far the new mark is

 

[Gen1Pat]

That's what I've done. ^^^

Dude, I tired to ask the same question a while back

Check the timing chain howto I made. I included install of vitos key. The mark is 7/8mm from right of orig tdc
