1998 V70 CPS relucter wheel orientation

Post by **kahl** » 03 Dec 2014, 01:50

I have completed a timing belt replacement and I used the rear cam lock tool to stabilize the cams. The cams are aligned to sprocket timing marks and I have the rotor positioned at cylinder 1. On the intake cam the part number is on the bottom, the exhaust cam the part number is on the top.

I need help on the cam shaft position sensor wheel orientation. It can be installed one of two ways.

thank you

Also, FYI, 1993-1998 timing belt job does not require locking the camshafts from the rear.
It is a waste of time.

thanks CN, I used this post but forgot to mark plate. I also pulled front sprockets to change front cam seals and I know of no other way to lock cams without locking the rear.

If you did seal then tool was required.
The CPS reluctor will only lay flat on camshaft end when fitted properly. It will sort of fit 180 off but the bolt will not start without some difficulty.
If you look at reluctor and end of cam you can match the offset notches to the offset slot on cam.
