Before stripping the head, I couldn't find the timing markings. So carefully crossed marked all the various cam pulleys etc etc. Only problem is - the workshop that skimmed the head has very kindly cleaned it in some sort of de-greasing bath. Lo and behold, all my
"permanent ink" markings have disappeared, excepting the one on the cam belt. Any advice on best awy to re-set everything much appreciated - I really don't want to be bending the valves after all this work.

Advice? Yup. Spend a tenner on the RM025E manual...

but marks are as follows:

cam- notch on pulley level with surface of head, 3 o'clock.

pump- notch in line with groove on face of waterpump housing, 2 o'clock.

crank- notch on outer of fanbelt pulley with tapered pointer, 8 o'clock.

Yep .. already have the manual .. but your explanation is sooooooo much easier. Didn't quite understand from the manual whereabouts of the markings. Thanks yet again.
