Jubilee valve timing

Previously wrote:

I'm putting my Jubilee engine back together at the moment and have a question about valve timing. The crankshaft half time pinion gear has no obvious timing mark on it. Should the dot on the intermediate gear align with the keyway on the half time pinion when all the other timing marks are aligned (top dead centre)?

Thanks in advance

Adrian,

Your assumtion is correct. Not much of a mark visible on the crankshaft half time pinion gear. Best to mark the gear with tippex as the keyway gets obscured by the oil pump gear when you put that on.
