Romeo Engine

CAUTION: Since the engine is not free-wheeling, timing procedures must be followed exactly or piston and valve damage may occur.




Both camshaft keyways are 90 degrees from the valve cover surface. Make sure the copper links line up with the dots on the camshaft sprocket.




If the copper links are not visible, mark one link on one end and one link on the other end, and use as timing marks.
