AOS - Question

CamShaft Timing


PS I do have a question for data. Did you get the clutch released in the spin or did the engine possibly spin backward? Thanks

aaaahhhhhh......
So, I can't even picture yet where these scavenge pumps are, and how they sit. I'll have to become more familiar. If one or both are bad, will I see that in a test of the AOS with a manometer?
And I'll definitely be checking the cam positions. Too easy to check to not do it....

Thanks Monty!
