1) Remove starter or inspection cover for flywheel/ring gear and carefully use screwdriver to rotate engine 2) Use a socket on the crankshaft pulley to rotate engine
In a steam engine, steam moves back and forth inside a cylinder due to the expansion and contraction of the steam as it is alternately admitted and then released from the cylinder. This movement drives a piston back and forth, which in turn generates mechanical energy used to power the engine.
take the spark plugs out then turn the engine on
To turn the engine to Top Dead Center (TDC) for the number one cylinder firing, first remove the spark plug from that cylinder. Then, use a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt to rotate the engine clockwise. As you turn the engine, watch for the timing marks on the harmonic balancer or timing cover; align them with the TDC mark. You can also feel for compression in the cylinder by placing your finger over the spark plug hole, which indicates the piston is approaching TDC.
Sounds like the cylinder isn't lined up to the key way.
With an OBD2 code reader. But, unless you repair the problem that set the light it will just come back on.
turn engine over till number 1 cylinder is at top dead center(high as it can go) Be sure the exhaust valve on that cyl. just closed. Pull distributor out and aim the rotor at the plug wire going to number 1 cylinder,re install dist. You may want to set it exactly with a timing light or turn the dist. counter clockwise until the engine starts to run rough. Then back the dist. back slightly until the motor runs smooth.
You have to take the spark plugs out, manually turn the engine over until cylinder number one is at top dead center, then turn the distributor until it points to cylinder number one and re-stab it. Normally an advanced procedure. If you get it wrong, it can cause engine damage. I'd have it taken to a shop.
If you mean the brake master cylinder, then squealing might mean that you have a vacuum leak.
remove spark plug then turn engine over with starter...cylinder full of gas and oil
To adjust the rocker arms on a 455 Oldsmobile engine, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the cylinder you’re adjusting. Loosen the rocker arm nut and turn the pushrod until you feel resistance, then tighten the nut until it makes contact with the pushrod. Finally, turn the nut an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn to achieve the proper preload. Repeat this process for each cylinder, following the firing order.
turn engine to top dead center on compression stroke then turn 1 quarter of an inch passed set at .005
On the Ford 200 cubic inch straight 6 cylinder engine , the distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE
