Just about to fire no 1 w/engine at TDC on compression stroke
Turn the engine until the #1 plug is at TDC on the compression stroke. Mark the distributor at that location. Install the new distributor and turn until you are at the exact same location. Have the timing checked after you get it started.
you could get a new one for about $500 tops?
Depends on why there is no compression.
A standard four stroke cycle engine has intake, compression, power, exhaust strokes. Induction and intake are the same thing. Answer The induction stroke is where the engine cylinder refills with a new 'charge' of air (if it's a diesel) and air and fuel (if it's a petrol) There are slight variants on the above depending on whether the the fuel is directly or in-directly injected in to the engine - but to keep it simple the above hopefully will give you a good idea!
Do you have fuel, and spark. If yes, check dist. Line up rotor to # 1 firing at t.d.c. Check that on compression stroke. Need more info, send me a not on mesg. board.
This is a new and emerginf technology and needs to have a lot of research work for this.. so we have to study about this new technology too. Like the innovative design of NIYKADO Six Stroke Engine.
The movement of the piston from BDC to TDC.
I just got 110 - with new rings but still doesn't run right. ...
It depends on how you put the distributor in. If you're asking this question now it probably means that you didn't have the engine at TDC when you took out the old distributor and put in the new one... now you get to track down TDC on the engine (that's when #1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke) and find out where the distributor is pointing. Understand that the #1 piston will be at TDC on top of the compression stroke and on top of the exhaust stroke. You need to make sure it's the right TDC. At that point, wherever the distributor is pointing is #1. Unfortunately, not everyone makes sure the distributor is back to factory specs.
When it was new it had 150 PSI. per cylinder
To fix an engine with no compression first try replacing the spark plugs. Remove the spark plug wire and then remove the spark plug. Replace the plug with a new one. Reattach the wire. Replace all of your plugs and see if your engine will fire.
