there is a little dash mark on the camshaft and then on the crank shaft there is a key that holds the balancer pully on strait and you turn the engine over with your hands on the balancer pully until it points strait up and then pull it off and then turn the camshaft (dont be scared it will pop into place) until the dash lines up with the key on the crankshaft then put everything back together and start.
timing marks should be on the harmonic balance.above harmonic balance should be a a flat metal pointer. the edge of this pointer will lign up with marks when being timed
On the 1.8 DOHC GSi model the cam shaft timing sprockets have little marks along the edge of them. The two marks MUST be lined up closest to each other. The marks are very small and you may want to use your fingernail to find them. On the 1.6 SOHC model, the camshaft timing sprocket has the same type mark, but it must be at the 9 O'clock position. It should be EXACTLY on the top plan of the cylinderhead mating surface with the valve cover. On all Storm engines, the lower crankshaft timing sprocket has a small notch. That MUST be at the 12 O'clock position. It will line up with a small little triangle on the oil pump housing.
Answer: The ignition timing on a 1990 Geo Storm is 10 degrees BTDC. This applies to both the SOHC and DOHC 1.6L engines.
To set the timing on a 1993 Ford Thunderbird with a 3.8L engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. Use a timing light to check the timing; connect the timing light to the number one spark plug wire and aim it at the timing marks. Adjust the distributor as necessary to achieve the specified timing, which should be around 10 degrees BTDC for this engine, ensuring all connections are secure after adjustment.
Assuming a 1.6L engine, timing is generally controlled by the timing belt. Can adjust the timing by loosening the front lower bolt on the distributor and then rotating the distributor clockwise or counter clockwise. Use a timing light to set timing correctly. I believe it is 10 BTDC
To time an overhead valve (OHV) V-10 engine, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the first cylinder. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears according to the manufacturer's specifications. Install the timing chain or belt, ensuring proper tension and alignment. Finally, double-check all marks and rotate the engine manually to verify correct timing before starting the engine.
Both the crank and cam sprockets have timing marks on the sprocket and on the engine. As you face the front of the engine, with the sprockets in front of you, the cam timing mark is approx. 85 degrees right of top center. The crank mark is approx. 10-15 degrees right of top center (piston #1 should be top dead center). Line marks on sprockets with timing marks on block (tin), slip on belt and tighten tensioner. Manually rotate engine 2 complete revolutions and check that both marks are still aligned.
To set the timing on a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Connect a timing light to the number one spark plug wire and the battery, then start the engine. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, and adjust the distributor as necessary to align the marks to the specified timing degree, usually around 10 degrees BTDC for this model. Finally, tighten the distributor clamp and recheck the timing to ensure it is set correctly.
To set the timing on a 1994 Ford Ranger with a 2.3L engine, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing tab on the engine. Use a timing light to illuminate the marks while the engine is running; adjust the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree (usually around 10 degrees BTDC). Finally, recheck the timing after tightening the distributor.
For a 1984 Chrysler LeBaron with a 2.2 turbo engine, the timing marks are typically located on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. The timing mark on the crankshaft pulley aligns with a notch or pointer on the timing cover to set the ignition timing. The correct timing specification for this engine is usually around 10 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center). Always refer to the specific service manual for precise details and adjustments.
Look where all the belts and pulleys are on the passenger side of the engine compartment. Way down at the lowest pulley. As you shine the timing light way down there, you will see the numbers 0 and 10 and the hash marks. You should see a notch on the pulley that you will use to line up the hash marks.
To set the timing marks on a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, you need to locate the timing tab on the engine, typically on the front cover. Align the timing mark on the harmonic balancer with the appropriate degree mark on the timing tab, usually around 5-10 degrees BTDC (before top dead center) for optimal ignition timing. It's advisable to use a timing light for accurate adjustments while the engine is running. Always refer to the specific service manual for precise timing specifications based on your engine type.
