I'm after a bit of advice on fitting a timing belt to an AFN engine. I was just reading the haynes manual there and all looks straight forward enough until the refitting section. It says that you fit the belt to the crank sprocket, then the injection pump but you loosen the cam sprocket so you can adjust it when fitting the belt to ensure the teeth engage properly. OK, the cam timing is kept by the cam locking tool at the back of the head, but assuming the belt you're fitting has the same dimensions as the one you took off, surely you wouldn't need to do this?
I'd worry if I had to adjust the cam sprocket that I hadn't fitted the belt right?
Anyone else done this and did you loosen the cam sprocket?
