okay this might be too late but others can use it for reference,,,,,,,,,,,,, Cam timing; Set no 1 piston to TDC (top of the bore) check this with a Dial guage. Note there is a 'dwell' period where you can turn the crank & see no movement on the dial guage. It may only be a fraction of a turn but you need to find the mid point of the pistons TDC position. Next slip the chain over the crank & mount the timing disc TDC 0 degrees at the top. Bend a short length of wire & wind it around one of the studs that secure the front cover & secure with a nut & washer. You can then bend it into a pointer to the TDC position on the timing disc. The cam is timed in on the no 1 inlet so second lobe from the front, fit a cam follower making sure it drops easily & then another up side down on top so the dial guage can register on the flat cam follower bottom. Turn the cam until maximum lift is registered on the guage. Note there is a dwell period of maximum lift on the cam often up to 7 degrees so you need to find the mid point of the maximum lift. Turn the crank clockwise until the pointer is at 110 degrees ATDC (After Top Dead Centre) Now the cam chain wheel can be slipped on to the cain & offered to the cam shaft. This is the tricky part & usually requires several attempts to get it right. Once fitted turn the engine clockwise for several turns & then check the cam dial guage fo maximum lift & then check the crank degree is still @ 110 degrees. Re adjust if not spot on, can take some time to get the perfect setting

Thanks Andy, When i take it apart I will check the crank then, It's in for a rebuild I intend to rework the head, lighten and balance crank,rods, pistons, flywheel, etc add a fast road cam and a pair of 40 DCOE's, I just need to find a inlet manifold first, I then hope it will ready for the road early summer, one more small thing the body needs to be refitted on the chassis. Do you know if this engine is the same as a Mk3 GT6 unit thanks George happy new year old chap

Hi John, thanks for your help. I have got a Sparco Sport wheel with it's own buttons already built in, Part number SSW015THIP311 From Demon Tweeks. and I have just found this from Triumph special tuning, http://www.triumphspecialtuning.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=109, It's going to be awhile before i try it all out as the body is just about to be removed from the chassis for restoration over the christmas break, check the Triumph web site out this will work on your motor their relay is only £85, if you order quick father christmas might bring you one George
