looking at it in person it looks good to me but figured I would double check

just did the ap2 retainer swap and a valve adjustment to .008" intake and 0.10" exhaust

not too familiar with the f20c so figured I would just snap a quick pic and check with everyone

Looks good to me.

yup looks good, BTW did you have any cracks on the retainers?

speedjunky01

thank you both and nope no cracks at about 60k so that means no money shifts by the last owner but I had them in the garage, the weather SUCKS so I figured why not?

The timing marks line up good, but I don't know if I'm seeing the punch mark on the sprocket properly. The punch mark dot on the sprocket is supposed to be in the middle of the two coloured pieces of the timing chain. Maybe you can confirm that it is as I may not be seeing the picture correctly, it looks to be off one tooth to me though and the chain may need to be moved one tooth to the right on the sprocket. If the mark is centered between the two coloured pieces of the chain then disregard my comment.

If the crank is on the white mark, you are good.

Dont concern yourself with any markings on the chain itself.

Crank is dead on the tdc mark down below thank you all for the help to double check put the valve cover back on and it fired right up and runs quieter then ever I think this was the first adjustment in 60k
