We are in the process of assembling our engine at the moment and came across a situation where we weren't comfortable with assuming that we knew the answer. So of course I come here first.
I know that when you mate the cam and crank gears, you are supposed to line up the "X" marks for proper valve timing. Makes complete sense and no problems there. However, are those markings specific to each engine? If I use the crank/gear from one engine and mate it up with a cam/gear from another engine, can I still line up the "X" marks or do I need to look into timing the cam manually. (Please don't say I have to do that)
Thanks,
Corey
