Here's my problem. I remember when I did the timing last time, the intake valve pulley rotated all the way around when the piston is in TDC. I'm trying to align the marks (made a long time ago so it'd be easy to remember the next time) and now the pulley isn't spinning all the way around when the piston is at TDC so that I can alight the marks. I remember it rotated 360 degrees freely (with tension of course) when the piston was at TDC because I remember my hand was slipping and the dot on the pulley rotated all the way around and then I'd try again.
I'm inclined to remove the head again and see what's going on.
This time around, I had the bike on 1st gear and I used a crankshaft turning tool to move the piston to TDC.
Unless...I'm supposed to match the marks when the piston is on not on TDC.
my previous attempt in timing,

On this video @10minutes and 24 seconds (
).
The tech says the vertical piston is now 90 degrees past TDC. And he tried to spin that intake valve and it stopped.
His mark never made it past the matching mark.
Is that intake valve really "NOT" supposed to rotate 360 degrees when spinning it manually?
I just wanna :BoomSmilie_anim: 749
