Which way to install rotors when rebuilding engine?
I am putting my engine back together, how should I put the rotors in so the timing will work when I try to start it. In the pic should it be the first way or the second, the FSM isnt very clear other than a starting position for the first(front) rotor.
ok picture isnt uploading, story of my life... if somone has a pic can they post it?

AFAIK you can't install the rotors improperly. The lobes on the e-shaft and the shape of the housings will not allow that to happen. The timmig has to do with the CAS IIRC. I was told that if you remove the CAS and line up the two marks on it and re-stab it that should be "ok" timming to run.

yeah..you cant do it wrong. it will only fit one way. however..the way to do is this: put one apex of the first rotor facing straight down (towards the oil pan.) then the apex of the second rotor will have to go straight up.
mesh the gears on the opposite side of the apex ur 'measuring' with, and just wiggle back and forth to get the eshaft in.

Both the Haynes and FSM have quite good instructions for rebuilding an engine.
The rotor will only mesh with the stationary gear one way, so you can't assemble them backwards.
