Gday all those wiley in the ways of the mini-Gods

I have finally got the engine back together and got it all bolted up. However how do I dial in the camshaft now I have it all together. The Triger belt drive has no adjustment in it therefore can I run the '13 "straight up" or do I have to do some massaging.

I am pouring over books and I am not really confident in getting it right. KC says check it at the valve - but will it be detrimental to the new motor if I do the RE-13 "dot to dot" for the run in and then play with it later on.

Your learned advice is appreciated...

Hooroo

Well Kev dialed mine in with the head off still with his little gagets...

and he set my belt drive up also... but mine is a vernier adj one

Rob,
I use offset cam keys if they are not vernier ones.
Never had a problem with them, even running a 10* key once.
Karcraft sells a limited range.
RE13 cam I time in at 105-106*ATDC with a belt drive, but 103-104 with a duplex chain (as they stretch).

My belt drive needed a 6* offset key in to get it right with the RE13....
