Thread: i got a problem with timing my engine

Tweet

turn your motor over until the timing pointer points to TDC or 0 on your harmonic balancer. try puting your dist in turning it bit by bit until in goes in. take note at what direction it is pointing and pull it back out and then take a long screwdriver and turn your oil pump in your dist hole one way or the other about the same distance that you need to move your rotor to get it to point to #1 piston. it will take a few tries moving the pump bit by bit until you get the dist right. if you want to make sure its in right and not 180 off take #1 plug out and turn the motor over by hand clockise and you can feel the compression or air comming out of #1 then you are on the right revolution to put it on TDC on the balancer and leave it. the firing order is 18436572 with 1 on the left front 2 on right front 3 second back on the left on 4 second on right and so one. i hope this helps

you can turn the motor over by hand by putting a socket on the center bolt holding the harmonic balancer on.
