No. When the timing mark is at tdc, #'s 1 & 6 are both up. One is up for compression, the other is up for exhaust.
No, the intake stroke pulls fuel-air into the cylinder, the compression stroke squeezes (compresses) this mixture into a small volume.
Neither, on a 4 cycle engine the timing is set at the end of the compression stroke of the number 1 cylinder.
Number one cylinder is located driver's side front of engine. With the # 1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor will be pointing at #1 plug on cap.Number one cylinder is located driver's side front of engine. With the # 1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor will be pointing at #1 plug on cap.
The piston is on the up stroke to compress so both valves are closed
That would be the top of the compression stroke on the number one cylinder.
Presumably we are talking 4 stroke? If so, none or the exhaust - it will be at the top of the compression or the exhaust stroke
Yes
On a 4-cylinder engine with a firing order of 1342, if number 1 cylinder is on the exhaust stroke, the number 3 cylinder will be on the induction stroke.
It is when the number one cylinder has reached top dead center on the compression stroke.
Sounds like it is out of time, check the mark on the crank and number one cylinder and distributor. their is a compression stroke and exhaust stroke so be sure you are one the compression when checking timing.

This condition defines a intake valve is open when the spark plug fires. Look to see if the plug wires is properly connected in the right firing order. If the engine has been disassembled the vale timing could not be set proper. Ignition timing may not be set to the right position. Timing mark at TDC. Cylinder number 1 on compression stroke.Drop distributor in with rotor facing cylinder number 1 on distributor cap.
The 4 stroke cycle is also referred to as the Otto or Ottoman cycle. The piston will travel 4 complete evolutions including the power stroke. Intake, compression, power, exhaust. 4 cylinder refers to the number of cylinders the engine has.
there is no hard fast rule here. but typically with the cap off and number one cylinder at TDC on compression stroke. the rotor will point at number one cylinder on the engine.
