hi all , i'm currently installing a 1.8 turbo ea82 into a volkswagen camper for a friend.

what i need to know is how to set the timing from scratch, as i have just installed 2 new cam belts and marked the top of each pulley before i removed the old.

once this was done i then rotated the crank and can only do so through 180degs.

now we should have checked before hand, we never did a full rotation when we checked the engine to start with. so to eliminate a bottom end problem i would like to set the cams and crank statically and start from top dead on no. 1 if thats how its done.

i know its christmas, but this hippy needs your help.

thanks in advance Mike, and happy christmas to all..

 

also does anybody know the firing order and which cylinders are which.

cheers mike.
