Setting the timing on my 2012 s10.

[enigmus01]

Hi. I have a big problem whith my s10. It is a 2012 whith about 47000 km.

I had some chain knock. I turned of the bike and after that I could not turn it on.
The engine turned over but no start.

I have then the bike apart and came to a conclusion that the timing chain has jumped. The valves moved normaly and the bike has compresion. Not shure how much because I can't cranck the bike safely. So now i can't trust the cam position. And I have to start from begining and have to set the timing. But the workshop manual is a litle bit confusing for me.

First thing i have got to do is to put the number one cilinder in tdc so that I can after put the cams back in the right position. Can someone help me do that? Thank you in advance.

I can't help with your question but maybe this thread may help. Valve adjustment - more lessons learned

To get to TDC on cylinder #1, remove the center spark plug. You can use a dial indicator to precisely locate TDC or stick something small enough to fit through the spark plug hole but long enough not to fall in. I've used things like a pencil or long straight Tiewrap. Rotate the crankshaft from the right end (clutch cover removed) until you see your indicator rise to its highest point. That's when you're at TDC.

With the valves out of time it might be a little more difficult to figure out whether you are on the compression or exhaust stroke, but I think there are timing marks on the crankshaft where you turn it. Ordinarily, when the cam timing is correct, you can tell you're on the compression stroke when all of the intake and exhaust valves are closed, i.e. the cam lobes are rotated away from the followers and there is measurable clearance between the cams and the followers.
