96 1.4 timing marks - voodo
Hi ive just changed my waterpump on my Rover 214si N reg and as far as im aware ive lined all the timing marks up correctly ie:exhauste pully pointing towards inlet pully and locked them in place with locking tool, ive also lined flywheel pully up with the oil pump marking which is about 1 ocklock as you look at the engine in the standing position there are also some other marks on the plastic cover and one of them says TDC my question is to i use the TDC marks to time up my car to run smoothly or is it the oil pump mark i should use to time my car up beacause ive used the oil pump mark and lined both my cams up properly and my car runs erratically ?. And as the car ran fine before i replaced the pump it must be something im doing wrong ive been told that the oil pump mark is for dynamic engine timing purposes and i dont know what that is ? any advice or help would be greatly appreciated by a very frustrated Rover owner.
