I will try to get the timing clarified before the compression test then.
Turn crankshaft to TDC, marked with tip ex etc. Then go up top, remove cam belt cover and check that the cambelt pulley is also lined up correctly? IF these two are correct, then il remove the valve cover, HPFP and cam cover and look at the cam chain/ observe camshafts turning as I turn the crankshaft. IF both camshafts are turning then il try to insert the tool @dazza kindly lent me. :notworthy:
Ideally I want to see a damaged tensioner which would back my theory up that the tensioner failed and leaked oil resulting in low oil pressure, which caused the timing to go out, resulting in it cutting out and refusing to start again

Afraid not, I'm going to check the crankshaft and camshaft cam belt tonight to eliminate the cambelt tonight, so will update this evening.
I plan on taking the valve and cam cover off on Saturday with plenty of time and daylight so will update about that Saturday

I didnt have long tonight but I couldnt find either the camshaft or the crankshaft TDC. I cant get in to see rhe cambelt pulley properly.
And I cant see the top of the crankshaft pulley properley as the chassis is in the way. I filmed it on my phone and the only thing I can see is this tiny little triangular indent on the pulley, nothing on the back plate. In the video I start at the top of the pulley and.go anti clockwise looking for the TDC mark
dazza:
You can see the indent in the back plate in seconds 5/6 & 36.
I used my phone to line up the cam shaft when i was doing the cam chain the viewing window is useless.
r5gtt:
Quicker way was to put a long driver in plug closest to cam and get it to tdc rocking neither up nor down so that's central and TDC marked up.
The driver has to be at the highest point when tdc is marked up.
Pesky jones:
Cheers guys, so il try using my phone ha. Is the camshaft tdc mark where the one shown dazza posted on page 10.
And is the triangular indent on the crankshaft pulley the tdc mark?
