Smart Car Help Please!!!
Discussion
theres more than one smart car motor... I dont know the exact procedure to timing one of these, but if I were you I'd head over to a smart car specific forum. With a vehicle like yours its gonna be tough to find people who actually know what they are talking about. I know its manufactured by Mercedes, so id venture to guess the motor is manufactured by mitsubishi or chrysler.
not sure if your sorted but very simple, TDC NO 1 (top dead centre) there is a locking pin goes in flywheel but use a drill bit, The cam has a hole in the camshaft gear this is fitted inline with the cylinder head upper edge left hand side. so 9 oclock as you are looking at it ,ay have hole in head there to accept a locking pin too.
When you think your done remove pins and turn by hand to check no valve contact.
hope this helps.
