Just replaced rings on 84 XL 250. When we put everything back together thought we did everything correct. Installed cam shaft with all lobes down, hope that is correct. Tried pulling Any ideas?.

SOURCE: where is the cam shaft sensor located

it is located`on the engine, under the power steering pump

I think if you put a pry bar behind the knuckle and give it a quick bump it will just pop out it has a ring on the inside that holds it in. Just uses pressure to keep it in place I will look in a few but I am sure that is what to do.

unfortunately you do have to tear it all down, but it's not as bad as it sounds. the 4cyl is easy to work on. you don't have to put it all back together to find out if timing is correct. if you have a good fully charged battery just run the engine with only the timing belt attached. (of course be absolutley sure to keep tools, engine pars, and hands clear!)

put on the parking break and the trans in neutral

tear down to the timing belt

adjust to tdc (there is a hash mark on the cam gear)

remove or losen the idler pully

allign the timing gear and crank gear. there are marks on these from the factory install.

tighten idler pulley

run engine. it should be fairly obvious if it's too advanced or lagged when you give it some gas.

the timing is set to 8 degrees at 700 rpm...if it helps any

The crankshaft should have the timing mark on the crank pulley (Notch in the outer edge of the pulley near the keyway) It should align with the timing mark on the oil pump. (With the keway turned to about the 3 O'clock position.)

Align the marks on the camshaft timing pulleys with the corresponding dots on the front plate.

If you are installing a new belt, it should have 2 solid white lines printed on it that you would align with the timing marks on the cams and a dotted white line to align with the timing mark on the crank.

It makes a difference which way you put the belt on. (Which edge faces the front of the engine.) Most, but not all brands of belts have arrows and the word "FRONT" on them to tell you which edge of the belt shoud face the front of the motor. If there is no mark to tell you which edge is front, the letters on the belt must be able to be read correctly as viewed from the front of the vehicle.

Testimonial: "Thanks for bringing me back to reality... I just finished working on it and everything is fine. It really was that simple.... Thanks again."
