Ive had to get a new head for a 1.6 m43 engine as the old one was cracked.

Its got a chain on this and I cant seem to see any timing marks that im supposed to line up. I see an arrow on the cam sprocket, however this isnt currently attached to the head, also how do i know that after taking the chain of the cam sprocket that it wont fall off the lower crank sprocket, as the cover is still in place over that.

I cant seem to find any information in the bentley i have here

any help would be most welcome!

apparently im supposed to line the camshaft sprocket arrow to 12 o clock...that doesnt seem very precise?

I dont suppose you guys will have come across the m43 engine much?

Check the e36 forums...the 318 guys might have an idea
