What is PTO?

 

Usually stands for Power Take Off. Not sure how that relates to your problem.

Camshaft can be aligned w/ crankshaft at TDC, if necessary, by loosening TB (loosen tensioner and lock in loose position w/ lock nut), slipping TB of camshaft sprocket, hold TB taut, rotate camshaft sprocket, reinstall TB to camshaft sprocket.

good luck

 

Was wondering because a Couple of the sprockets have the letters PTO on them. So I can take belt off and rotate camshaft by itself?

 

After thinking about it, there could be a problem depending on how far out of timing alignment you were. The potential problem is that you won't be able to "feel" valves hitting pistons as you rotate camshaft, if that should occur.

It would be safer to do reverse procedure, align camshaft to TDC, remove TB, remove spark plugs, and rotate crankshaft to align w/ TDC. Here you will be able to feel any interference and stop.

I thought I understood that camshaft and crankshaft were aligned. Is that not the case?

good luck

 

Things should not have been out of line. But I noticed the first time I got it together there was a lot of vibration. Just now I got all the marks perfectly lined. Just took some patience. Thanks for your help. We'll see how she runs.

 

Balance shaft alignment is changed by moving balance shaft only w/ Crankshaft at TDC. Balance shaft alignment would be a likely reason for vibration.

good luck
