anyone have the same flywheel as me? early 2.4 aab. my camshaft slot lines up with the mark in the inspection window to the right in the first picture but after an extensive look round the flywheel i found the o I I in the second picture (iPhone camera on full zoom). this would put my timing out slightly if i should be lined up between the o and I. there are 2 pointers on my flywheel like in the first picture (are these something to do with the clutch?) and all the marks are within an eighth of a flywheel turn.
i am slightly concerned as my van has been to the garage twice this month after i broke down with a suspected pump belt slip. the garage got my van to run but it makes a pinging sound every other engine rotation. they said they could not get it running any better no matter how much they move the pump timing. the garage also said my cam belt is very worn. i am happy to change the cam belt myself but not knowing whether the cam belt or the pump timing is the problem makes it all very frustrating as the van pretty much runs fine except for the slight knocking. it seems odd though that the knocking only occurs every few engine rotations rather than being a constant noise. if someone could give me a clear answer regarding the flywheel i will at least have somewhere to start as I'm now at my wits end and just want her back to full health. I've never heard a engine running out of time before but I'm assuming as mine still runs and drives ok ish its not wrecked. all the best and thanks in advance for any advice
