Timing advice?

[hardhat_harry]

Im rebuilding an engine and I'm up to the putting it back together bit. I have been told the timing advice in the Haynes manual is suspect.

Anyone know where I can download the official manual as all the links I found on the Org were dead.

Or alternatively can someone post the info from the Suzuki manual?

Cheers

Yep the edition i got from the library was dodgy, its obvious as the marks it tells you are there aren't.

filestube.com search 'sv650 manual' its there :-)

Ok can someone look at the pictue and confirm the timing marks are aligned correctly. These are the REAR cylinder at TDC for the rear, I confirmed TDC for the rear by looking at the timing marks on the front cylinder.

I suspect Im slightly out or its just cause the CCT isnt in.

When I move the In cam one tooth back and tighten it up the timing mark 2 is always in this position

Thanks for the help

That is wrong. First you don't set timing on TDC, you set it at F mark. Second intake cam 1R arrow has to be aligned with head.

Sorry set to F (I thought F was TDC)

mmmm my book says 1R alighned to head is front cylinder not rear, I'll have anpther look tomorrow

R is tdc for rear but F is used for cams. That also looks like front intake cam on rear cylinder and why nothing aligns.

Turn around and look for garbage can, throw that book in there. Unless you reading wrong :)

Ah crap I wonder if the cams from my scrap head has gotten mixed up with the ones from the good head.

Hard to tell on picture but that looks like A stamped on cam (in middle of cam) which is front intake.

There are two F marks on the fly wheel isnt there? When I setup the rear do I turn the engine 180 degrees to the other F mark to do the front (I assume this is a daft question but I'll ask it anyway)

[beabert]

No there is 1 you turn it 360degrees. both pistons are nearly at tdc together, this animation will make it click for you i think.

Basically once both are done and timed up, every time you rotate 360 back to F one of the cams will be in the position indicated in the above diagrams, rotate another 360 the other is etc etc.

Its all in the manual http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CJ56DGJA

Charting your BBT is a good way to confirm ovulation and detect any problems w/ low progesterone and/or short luteal phase. It's not good for predicting ovulation or telling you when you have fertile cervical fluid.

There can be many reasons why conception can be delayed or which cause difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy. And many can be detected by charting and treated at home.

I highly recommend charting at least your cervical fluid in addition to BBT. Once you have a couple of cycles charted, you can better see what may be causing difficulty for you, if you can self-treat, or if you need a doctor's assistance.

I am missing the joke here :confused:
