How do you time a 1986 chevette 1.6L OHC engine Help?

Answer 1

timing chevette 1.6 crank to camFirst, set the timing mark on the crankshaft to zero. Then remove the distribular cap. Look to see if the rotor is pointing to # 1 spark plug wire termenal. If not, turn the crankshaft all the way around, and line up the marks again. REMOVE TIMMING BELT COVER. look at the top spocket of the camshaft, there is a drilled hole in it. appox. 1/8" . Line up that hole with the hole in the back cover, appox. one oclock on the camshaft .use a drill bit to check, put the bit in though the camshaft drilled hole , and into the back plate. the bit should go though both holes. if so ,then the camshaft is timmed to the crankshaft. Now all that is left is to double check that the rotor is pointing to number one. put the cap back on and throw away the belt cover..
