hi everybody, over the next few weeks I will be rebuilding the engine on my speed six, I had leeking valves so I took the head of wich I will send to a specialist to crack test and sort the valve issue out. Wile the head is away I like to rering the pistons home the bores, reshell the bottom end and conrods, change the half time bearing I may do a bith of plumming to feed some oil to the finger and the half time bearing. The cams are like new and I only found 2 finger with a tiny bith of wear. It really looks quite healthy I have marked the crankshaft and the cams befoor dismanteling, but I wonder if the timing was slightly out. Does anybody know the corect settings for the timing? An is there anything else you would suggest me regarding the rebuild? Many many thanks. Francesco
