What else can I help you with?
Where should the cam position be when setting timing marks on a 1994 Honda Civic 1.5L sohc?
#1 piston should be at TDC and both valves closed (compression stroke)
Can a retarded engine cause low compression?
If the timing is retarded due to cam and crank timing, the answer is YES. If it is due to distributor or ignition timing NO. Compression is produced mechanically when all the valves are closed during the compression stroke of the piston. If all is well (rings and valves), you should achieve optimal compression from the engine. Almost all gasoline engines require a least 80 psi to fire the cylinder.
When timing a 3.0L Plymouth engine I understand that the 1 piston should be a TDC on compression stroke but on the other cam should the 2 piston be on compression or exhaust stroke?
Well if you lined up the timing marks properly then it would not matter. The engine would run anyway.
Is timing set on exhaust or intake stroke?
Neither, on a 4 cycle engine the timing is set at the end of the compression stroke of the number 1 cylinder.
How do you know when number one cylinder is on the compression stroke after belt has snapped?
To determine if the number one cylinder is on the compression stroke after the timing belt has snapped, first, turn the crankshaft manually to align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft. Next, remove the spark plug from the number one cylinder and place your finger over the spark plug hole; you should feel air being pushed out as the piston moves up, indicating it's on the compression stroke. Additionally, you can observe the position of the piston through the spark plug hole; it should be near the top of its travel when on the compression stroke.
What In a four-stroke engine the timing gears control?
The timing gears basically first the cylinders in the right sequence and when the compression is at it most optimum
Camshaft timing marks for a Ford Laser?
Timing marks for twin cam 1.6L B6 engine. When crank pulley is at TDC on the compression stroke, 'E' & 'I' on the camshaft pulleys should be at 12 o'clock. Too easy.
Where does rotor button point to when installing distributor in motor?
When installing a distributor in a motor, the rotor button should point to the terminal of the ignition wire for the number one cylinder at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. This ensures that the ignition timing is correct when the distributor fires. It's essential to confirm that the engine is at TDC on the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke, for accurate timing. Proper alignment ensures optimal engine performance.
How do you change timing chain on 97 dodge ram 5.2l?
get the #1 up on compression stroke crank gear mark at 12 & cam gear at 6 this should work
3.0 v6 1990 Dodge Daytona how to adjust camshafts for timing engine?
Look for detent marking on camshaft sprockets and align them with timing marks on cylinder head, should be visable markings and ensure that engine is at TDC on compression stroke, and timing marks should all line up
Does rotor point to number 1 when timing marks are lined up?
Yes, if #1 is at TDC on the compression stroke.
1989 Toyota 3.0 v6 sr5 can you swap the heads around if not why we did by accident now compression is at 36lbs why is that?
More than likely your timing belt is not installed correctly so you have open valves when they should be closed to have compression...
