Is It Backwards? Why Does it Work?

This comes up once a month. The cam goes 1/2 crank speed. It's called "ratio." The cam sprocket is twice as big and twice as many teeth as the crank sprocket. So the cam goes 1/2 the speed of the crank. Every other turn OF THE CRANK the dots meet, and every off turn from that, the two dots are on the "other side" of the cam sprocket. 1 turn of the crank, cam dot up, 1 turn of the crank, cam dot down

Use a straightedge, make darn sure they are in time. The dist does NOT fire no1 when the dots are 'dot to dot' it fires no6. Keep that in mind when you get around to that
You're on it first correctly and triple-r screws it up then gets all the credit LOL..
