R16 Timing Components and Cam-SAE vs. Metric

[JT68]

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay on this. Dave, Richard, Curtis and I are finishing up a tech wiki. It should be helpful.
If anyone is putting together an R or H engine now and needs some help, or if you are unsure/having trouble with cam
timing, feel free to give me a call. (contact info is on the website) Cheers, jt

It might be worth adding this to the wiki as it looks like it fits all years and looks like a complete set

We made these sprockets a few years ago. If you have a metric crank sprocket use the metric position and mark, If you have an SAE crank sprocket, use the SAE position and timing mark. It will fit either cam.

Paul Wells has a few on hand too.

We might make a SAE crank sprocket if needed, but it probably isn't except maybe for race engines and there are not many of those around.

We have all the engine components on hand! Also a few (correct) Japanese direct fit SAE sets on hand too.
