I'm posting this further to my previous post concerning oil priming. You've all been very helpful and your replies have been very useful. I wondered if I might further seek guidance regarding timing setup (I am of course assuming I might mess up the timing).
I've attached a diagram of the set up on the TVR which I figure will be the standard setup for any Rover V8 of this era (1992). I just would like to check I have this right. The way I understand this is that I need to get cylinder 1 at TDC (I don't think my pulley has timing markers) and that the way I determine I've got TDC for cylinder 1 if that both valves will be closed. I then understand that I need to check that both valves for cylinder 6 are open. I assume the reason I have to check 6 is to ensure the cam is in the right place (ie. not 180 degrees out). Have I got this correct ?
Also, I've shown the valve locations in red. Which ones are the inlet and which ate the exhaust valves please ?
As always, thanks for any guidance which I very much appreciate.
