OS FT 160 cam timing
I have an OS FT 160 twin apart and I just need to verify the cam to crankshaft timing. I see a small dot on the gear machined on the back of the crankshaft. The cam gear has a small hole in it, just below the cam gear ring. Do I align the small dot on the crankshaft gear with the small hole in the camshaft gear ??
TIA......Ed M.

RE: OS FT 160 cam timing
I just picked up a used Sig Cub with the OS 160 twin. I put about 10 flights on it and last night the crankshaft broke. I have torn it down and everything looks good. Except for some scuff marks on one of the rods and the broken crank. I was told it had been gone over resently by OS and it looks its. The bearings, cyl and rings all look new. My question is there a right or wrong way to install the crank into the housing. Thanks Ron
