i swapped my old hot cam out for a new xfi cam and when i go to do the timing and line up the dots, i realized that the crank does not have a dot to line anything up to, whats going on here? anyone ever run into this problem?

thanks

The crank gear has the dot, not the crank.

 

thats what i meant, the crank gear. it has a dot but no on one of the teeth

 

The crank gear and cam gear both have dots on them to line up .

 

What timing set?

 

Possibly the wrong side facing out?

 

the cam gear has a dot, the crank gear does not have a dot to line up with the crank gear. sorry for the confusion

 

You mean the crank gear doesn't have a dot to line up w/ the cam gear?
I know what you meant, but are you sure the crank timing gear has not been put on wrong?

 

i dont know i didnt build the motor, i tired checking to see if there was a dot on the other side and there was nothing, im confused.

 

Don't the timing gears only go on a certain way? Isn't there a grove that aligns the gear properly? can't he use that to make a dot... or am I imagining things? it's been a while.

 

I've never seen a gear without a marking. Something weird here.

 

I think the crank gear was put on backwards brb with pic to show
what im talking about ....
