Timing and Firing Orders

The number one cylinder on a 95 Mitsubishi Montero is in the front of the engine. It is on the left side as you face it.

Because in park it doesn't use much gas, but in drive it uses more and this could be causing detonations due to valve timing or sticking. It could also be a cracked manifold or damaged gasket. Both can cause loud running noises.

Are you sure you have a 2.8 V6? I show that engine was only installed in the Chevy S10 and not in a GMC which had the 4.3L V6. The 2.8L V6 is 1-2-3-4-5-6. The 4.3L V6 is 1-6-5-4-3-2

1, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

I think that would be 9-11 degreed... I'm still trying to figure out how to adjust mine

The fuel injectors are regulated by the engine control module, there is no provision for adjustment.

Can be a dot or insignia on top of cap for #1 cylinder

1. Get a service/repair manual before you start any of your own work on your vehicle. It will pay for itself over and over again. 2. Make sure your motor is off and cool before you start. 3. Take just one spark plug wire off one plug by grabbing the spark plug wire boot and not the wire itself. Or use a spark plug wire puller. 4. Make sure there is no dirt and/or oil around the spark plug. If needed, wipe the area around the spark plug hole being careful not to brush the dirt and oil away from the hole. Better yet blown it out with compressed air if you have a compressor. 5. Take out that plug with the proper tools by turning the plug to the left (counter clockwise). Usually the tool is a 13/16 or 5/8 deep socket. You may have to have a swivel joint and an extension also. 6. Apply anti-seize compound to the plug threads. Replace it with a new one turning the spark plug in by hand until hand tight. 7. Use the same tool you used to take out the old plug to snug up the new plug. Do not over tighten. 8. Connect the spark plug wire onto the new plug. Make sure it is on. They usually kind of snap on. 9. Follow steps three through eight until all spark plugs have been replaced. Tips: While you are at the parts store you might want to get a spark plug gaper and spark plug wire puller. Even though the gap is pre set on new plugs it is a very good idea to check it (ask the counter clerk at the auto parts store for the recommended gap). The wire puller saves the wires from pulling apart from the boot. Doing just one plug at a time helps you to keep everything in order. A crossed plug wire means the vehicle will miss fire or fire out of order. Take a good look at the old plugs. They can tell you a lot on how your vehicle is running. While you are under the hood, consider spending another $20 - $30 for high quality plug wires. If you replace the plug wires be very careful and only do them one at a time and don't get them crossed. What You Need: Socket Driver 3/16 or 5/8 deep socket 3" and 6" drive extensions Swivel adapter for the driver allows for tight spaces Anti-seize compound TO REPLACE CLY'S #1, 3, & 6 THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS BE REMOVED. A REPAIR MANUAL MAY BE HELPFUL. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP ANYTHING DOWN THE INTAKE OR YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE.

you can get to some from the front and the ones in the back you can get to through the wheel wells

On an older 350 get the motor running and slowly turn distributor until the miss (slight sputter out of exaust) goes away. At idle the motor should run smoot and not "hop" inconsistantly. adjust carberator at this point. to further bring it in find a safe place where you wont run anything over. put car into gear and hold brake. throttle up slowly. if you hear "clattering" from motor retard timing slightly. repeat until clattering stops. if you throttle up and tire spinning occurs you are pretty close (and most likely giving it too much gas).

first port to the right of the input block where the coil and tach wires go in. looking down clockwise

The order is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise rotation

The firing order for a 1981 Ford F150 , 300 cubic inch / 4.9 L straight six cylinder engine is 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 and the distributor rotates CLOCKWISE

1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

if you mean a 4.9 liter engine the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4

Better : the firing order is 1-3-4-2, being the first cylinder, the one on the passenger side.

i would have to say 8hr to 16hrs would be a reasonable estimate there is a great deal of work involved. any further questions email me at crazyarmydad@hotmial.com a rough estimate would be anywhere from 8hrs to 16hrs depending where you go. there is a great deal of work involved in doing all this work. any further questions email me at crazyarmydad@hotmial.com
