1984 Volvo Penta aq125a
I believe the timing belt slipped, have removed it and am reinstalling it. I have found all the marks for the crankshaft, distributor and camshaft.
The problem i am I am running into is that the camshaft is not easily turning to allow me to align everything - I know the marks on the belt allow me to do this but it would be ever so easy to align the crankshaft mark if I could rotate the camshaft.
I do do not intended to force the camshaft to turn.
I have the boat scheduled to go into the shop Sep 5th and will have them remove, clean, reinstall and apply a corrosion resistant to these three pulleys.
I wanted to ask here if it is normal or if it is a sign of something for the camshaft to not be turntable by hand?
Thank you you for your interest so far!
Regards,
Harry
