timing issues

[mk3some]

whats the trick to getting the timing right on...everytime i push the gear into the head the rotor part will not line up like its supposed to. what the hell am i doin wrong here?

 

[figgie]

it is not supposed to

should be of by a couple of degrees. Like 10 degre or so

Line up the mark on the gear with the groove on the CPS as in the second picture down..

yea im def doin that, is there a certain angle the mark and groove should go in at? i mean the positioning changes when the gears mesh so i need to know basically what the rotor part looks like when properly installed....does the rotor have to be a little past the mark that it looks it should line up with or does it have to be before it...i think ive been doin it right like the past thirty times wtf..

If the crank is truely at zero, and both cams are on their marks, then the CPS should slip in as shown in that second picture somewhere in the middle of the CPS adjustment point..

Then jumper the diag block, Verify no codes are present, and set the timing by adjusting the CPS to 10 degrees with a timing light...
