I am looking after a car for a friend. It has a steroids engine in it.
The only timing mark on the pulley that i can find is a painted on one. It states "timing". I assume this is to be statically timed at this point ? There are no marks that state TDC or BDC - so I figure I need to find these and mark the pulley ?
Also what valve lash are you running with these engines ?
you need help alright
Valve lash is .006 inches. As for the timing mark...it should be a dent/mark on the pulley like a normal engine. When the marks are upwards,the one on the right is the timing mark and the other (straight up) is the TDC mark (valve adjustments) A picture of the pully would help to see if it is standard though.....

If there are any doubts, put on a standard pulley and do the timing off that. As far as I know, all of Stan's engines with a 009 dissy are timed at 7.5 degrees BTDC. All mine have been.. I think!!
Might be a good idea to call Stan and discuss the valve clearance - it varies with the cam, I think...
I knew there were a couple of Stan's donks across the pond
Pay your debts, CxxT
if your removing the pully, be carefull not to bend it (dont use big screwdriver to lever it off) get hold of a pully puller
OK. I found a wee dent in the pully (it is a stocker), checked TDC and its on the money. Timing looks about 7.5 degrees before TDC static... I like my santana degreed pulley much better than the stock POS.
Ill get hold of the owner for the rest of the info...
Thanks for the help.
I still need help but not with the car.
