I just pulled my fuel pump off my zd30 and I noticed that the timing marks on the cams don't match up to what the manual said, would there be a reason for this? and would this cause blow-by the motor was rebuilt in 5/12

Try rotating the crank and see if the A and the AA marks and the B and the BB marks move away from each other if you get what I mean. Count how many teeth apart they are and see of it changes when you rotate it .
If they do you can keep rotating it till the marks all line up to make sure all is well. I reckon it will be ok.
Do they line up if you turn it 180 degrees
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I've turned it heaps and always comes back to 3 teeth out or heaps out could it be just a stuff up by mechanic
They will just be an odd number of teeth and require multiple rotations to line up.
I don't think a mechanic could get that wrong when the gears are clearly marked like that. It will take a shitload of rotations to get them to line up.Originally Posted by nitronick

3 teeth out would cause all sorts of issues as well. Keep rotating it and see how you go.
Just a thought, the cam gears are evenly spaced on the idler gear both 4 teeth and the idler gear only keeps them in time it shouldn't matter as long as they stay the same spacing ? And the timing chain didn't have any timing marks on it either maybe a old school mechanic using his brain? Still I am trying to call workshop to talk to mechanic anyway
Sorry guys it does take a thousand turns and eventually they all lined up
Glad you worked it out mate.
