Hi Ted,
Valve timing is adjusted via the gears on the ends of the crankshaft and
camshaft. Essentially, with the pistons in the proper position and the
valves adjusted to a specific value, you set up the gears so that make
everything move at the proper time. Before you pull the engine to check
the valve timing via the markings on the flywheel, try using the
technique I used on my Ambo when I broke my camshaft timing gear. I've
not done it with a timing chain set up, but I would think the basic
logic would remain the same:
