Honda GX160 Timing

[Dave177]

Hi all, Trying to set the Camshaft position on a little gx160 engine I have but there is nothing that I can distinguish as timing marks on either camshaft or crankshaft.

If I put the piston at TDC where should the valve position be?

any help would be great as its getting really annoying!!

The v on the camgear goes to the dot on the crankshaft gear.

There is no dot on the crankgear anywhere, all the pictures I have seen have a V and a Dot but on this one I have nothing

If there are definitely no marks I think you can only do it with a timing disc, you may be able to download one and make it?

I've done this in the past good luck
