On crankshaft there is a scale with 10 and T, mark should be at T , right?

On intake and exhaust camgears , the marks should be looking each other and I and E should be facing up, right? I on Intake and E on exhaust cam?

Now, there are 2 positions on both camgears, in which F***ing hole cams should be?

At the moment my lower mark is set, gears also set , and on 1 cylinder the intake valve is about to open and exhaust valve just closed. But it wont start and the timing seems to be very wrong since it strikes back something, and the starter hasnt got the power to run the engine at one point.

Whats wrong?????

BTW, im buting my stock cams back, and on both of them its written IN and EX, that means intake for IN and exhaust cam for EX, right???

Need help!!!:'(

Well, what was the problem?

Well , I have seen somekind of manual and reading from this forum that camgears marks are facing eachother and I is up on Intake cam and E on exhaust.

But in 1.8 FP marks are facing outside and I is up on Echaust and E is up on Intake cam. And cam lobs are facing each other at 1 cylinder ( exhaust just closed and intake is about to open )

So my marks were all wrong.

I took my friends 1.8 FP and put my cams after hims and now it works all ok :)
