hey all, engine is built up but have a little issue? when i took the timing off i marked it up, but with me cleaning the block up i washed the marks off
cant remember if the timing had been advanced? with it been mapped? what i want to know is: is this possible? im gonna have a go at it but on standard marks? how do i time it up? i have done other engines but never a scoob. usually its cylinder 1 & 4 tdc, and the exhaust valves open? when i line the centree pulley up no cylinders are at tdc?
Help PLease?

are you not using a new belt with markings on?
you need to time it correctly.. ignore how it was it might have jumped teeth on the belt or been fitted wrong.

ok them guys i'll time it bk up tomorrow on standard marks? just cant see how my marks line up, the marks on the timing all line up with the pullies and notches on cover, but the main 1 is it still turns freely and does not lock up?
why is this? all over engines ive done, lock up if its wrong?
thanks again guys

Before you even advance you need an exact base point and as mentioned above this won’t be done on the standard pulleys, which to add are a few degrees out before you even start.
I have seen some cars come in with the timing 180 DG and running
But with just a few teeth out and not correctly set up can expire an engine in seconds.

You are using the "line" on the crank gear and not the "triangle".
The "Line" is the Safe position with all the pistons halfway up/down the bore and should be used when doing a cam belt change.
The "triangle" is the TDC mark and used for degreeing the cams/leakdown test etc etc.
