Hi is it a k8 or k16 (8v) (16V) on the k8 engine the cam sprocket marking should line up with the cylinder head top surface pointing toward the front of the car. While the crankshaft pully's marking should line up with the TDC pointer visable from the front of the engine looking down behind the pully. TDC refers to top. dead. centre the highest point the no1 piston reaches on it's way up and down the cylinder. Removing the no1 spark plug and using a screwdriver through the whole will ensure you are at tdc. The distributor rotor should be facing the no1 ht lead when timing as you should be on the compression stroke
Yes it is, It has no choice but to be at TDC.
Yes.
Set your #1 cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke.
With No1 cylinder at TDC adjust the following valve clearances, No. 1, inlet and exhaust No. 2, inlet No. 3, exhaust No. 4, inlet No. 5, exhaust Then turn the crankshaft 1 full turn so that No 6 cylinder is at TDC and adjust the following valve clearances, No2. , exhaust No. 3, inlet No. 4, exhaust No. 5, inlet No. 6 inlet and exhaust. Both inlet and exhaust clearances ar 0.4 mm with engine cold. This info is from the original service manual
There should be timing marks on the block, set your cylinder to TDC and you should be able to time it
drivers side front.
WHEN INSTALING THE DISTRIBUTOR THE ROTARY BUTTON HAS TO BE POINTING AT THE NUMBER 1 CYLINDER AT TDC
crankshaft gear mark is set at 12:00 and the gear mark on the camshaft is set at 6:00. Correct, and what confused me and many people is that the #1 cylinder is not at TDC there. #6 should be at TDC on the compression stroke as I recall.
TDC with regards to an engine means Top Dead Center - and that means a piston is at the highest point in the cylinder befores it starts to go back down the cylinder
The TDC is when the number one cylinder is at the top or top dead center of the compression.
