Do the flat spots on the cams of cylinder 1 front and cylinder 2 rear both face towards the intake valves? Also, according to the service manual timing process the number 2 rear cylinder is timed first then engine rotated counterclockwise 280° to number 1?

Howdy. Im working on a 2013 can am commander 800 with the rotax engine. The head gaskets were leaking so my buddy wanted to replace them. I did this by loosening up the tensioners, removing the cam sprocket and using a bungy i hung the chain up so it wouldn't drop down. I thought i did a good job but putting it back together im having issue. it won't even fire. Now when i set my timing on the front head the 2 slashes on timing gear are even with head except the are on the top of the gear and not the bottom and i can roll the engine around and around and every time it will only line up with marks on top. The back head is the same way. Any suggestions on what i can do to get it right. Can i get the front head set up top dead center and then remove timing gear and roll cam around so the slashes will be even to head on the bottom as i keep seeing and same as back? I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you

Question, the lock tool that you inserted, I’m assuming you remove that and rotate the motor to tdc for the rear cylinder and the lock tool gets reinserted?

I have a 2005 400 HO CanAm outlander and cannot figure out how to set the timing. Could you help me out please

[@ethancrouch7934]

Alright so I’m rebuilding a 2012 can am outlander 800 and I was wondering how do I determine what orientation to put the cam gear on? I know how to get the cylinder to top dead center but how do I make sure that the valves correspond at top dead center?

Cam sprocket should be keyed and have a groove

@@calebpatterson6027I’m working on a 19 renegade and the cam sprocket has no keys or any indications to show how to go on a certain way.

I have a 2005 bombardier outlander 400 that jumped time how do I put it back in time

[@jarrodchambers9412]

if it jumped time you need to look at replacing the guides and chain or it will do it again...

[@scodder37]

@@jarrodchambers9412 the timing chain tension spring was bent when I got the bike so the chain had to slip

Because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Some valves require "shims" these do not. That tool your using is called a feeler gauge. Thanks for sharing!!
