I should know this but the grey cells ram has crashed.

From the TDC notch on the cams how many teeth away should the sprocket line up with the crank at 45 degree.

TIA

Cams rotate at 1/2 the speed of the motor.

So 45 deg would be 22.5 deg.

Now count the teeth on the cam gear, divide by 360, then x by 22.5 and you have the number of teeth.

Or rotate he engine to 45 then mark the gear.

Sounds like he already has that apart so that wouldnt work.....

If it's apart then 45 won't matter on the cams. Put them a TDC then rotate the crank back to the same. But you already knew that.
