dimnik

I double checke it and I aling the notch with the dimple and the cam shaft pulley is off by 3 teeth. I thought that the engine was aging and that why it lost full power, but now I guess it will go back to that great acceleration it used to have... By the way do you find carburator kit's in New Zealand or you cut your own gaskets if necassery? My engine wears the variable venturi carb and I can't find anyone that has some rebuilt kit here in Greece.

Thank you very much for the info. In that case I will bring the camshaft to the correct position. Could that be the reason that I had to get the distributor almost full retard to get normal idling and no ping?

Hello guys, I know it is a little bit old topic but I was wondering if somebody can help me. I have a Corolla ee80 with 2e engine and the other day that I was trying to change the water pump, I checked the timing belt and reallized that the timing marks don't coinside with the service manual. When the crankshaft is on mark the 2E hole on the cam shaft is a couple of teeth ahead. Is it a fault of the mechanic that had replaced the timing belt, or is it normal? Should I reset it to the manufacturers positions or can the set position be correct? Thank you advance
