XC70 Turbo, Camshaft and Crankshat Alignment

Joekawimbe60 · Post by **Joekawimbe60** » 18 Jan 2018, 00:26

My mechanic opened the engine to replace the head gasket, but he did not lock the cams, and now has failed to start the car because he is battling with aligning the Cams and the Crankshaft to get the timing right. He has been using the "traditional TDC" method, which seems to have failed. Help, please.
