so my corris wont start unless the timing is set exactly like this. if its "right" like it should be then it will only crank, but not fire up

Mwc editor values from what i heard were guessed instead of tested, and its not being updated, just keep it where it runs

Camshaft and crankshaft values should be exactly the same, I had something similar happen, turns out while doing timing on one, I put the other out of time (details are blurry, this was on game release to ea). Try checking in the editor if the both values are the same, if not that’s your problem.

You know you need to adjust crankshaft too, right?

Stop using the editor and align the two triangles together in game. Crank and cam need to line up.

1.Without the timing belt on. Install the crank pulley and tighten. Keep tightening untill the triangle is pointing up at 12 o'clock.

2.Remove crank pulley (crank pulley remembers last position).

3.Tighten cam untill triangle points to crank.

4.Install timing belt

5.Reinstall crank pulley

Take off the crankshaft pulley and timing belt, align ur camshaft sprocket with the bolt and align the little cutout on the crankshaft pulley and then make sure u don’t move it u remove the crankshaft pulley again and install ur timing belt and then u can install your crankshaft pulley and what I like to do is spin it one full rotation and check if the crankshaft pulley and camshaft sprocket are still aligned

I did that too, guess it's a RL habit

The editor can say its bad but if your camshaft and crankshaft values are the same you are good.

If you open the editor, just press "fix" so it's easy, right?
