Freelander 1.8i timing

Hi - I have been following Les's instructions on replacing a Freelander 1 HG after failure. I am pretty positive I did not move the crank, but with the timing sprockets in the timing position and the head off, the pistons are NOT all level in the middle of the bore. The 2 outside ones are about an inch higher than the middle 2. Not sure where the crank is set as I have not taken off the lower timing cover. Is that OK or have I muffed it !!

Also am I right in assuming that as long as I fit the inlet sprocket to the correct cam (the one at the back) I dont need to know where the locator pin was - it just goes in the "inlet" position ?

The head is back from skimming (looks way better than it was ) so I aim to reassemble tomorrow - just the above 2 worries

Cheers

Les's instructions were brilliant. Great forum !
