Want this question answered?
its the bottom plate that moves in the distributor to advance the timing
i have a timing chain on my 52 plate 2.2 diesel vectra
In the air intake hose leading to the throttle plate
YES it has a timing belt.
Timing is done by the electronic ign and not really adjustable, yes?
In hundreds of engines I have never seen a freeze plug behind the timing plate. They are almost always on the sides of the block, low down.
Drivers side, near the bottom of the engine is the Crank timing plate.
on the front of the engine is a plate which covers the timing belt. to remove this plate usually several other things have to be removed, pullies, etc.
if the timing plate was taken off then just take off the timing cover and there will be notches on the timing gears so u can time it from there
i have a 51 plate 2.2 cdx vertra i would like to know how to set the timing chain
The timing marks should be found on a little metal plate directly above the harmonic balancer.
Depends on what you are doing, But if its on the street or strip the answer is no.....
