I have a 72 1.7. Has anyone ever seen or heard or the TDC mark on the impeller being marked as a "0"? About 2" after the timing mark, there is a "0" that comes into view through the V shaped notch in the impeller shroud. Please help. I think I set my valves to the timing marks!!

There are four lobes on the camshaft and 8 valves.
When one is open on one side, the other is closed and ready to be adjusted. In the Classic thread forum on this site is the Cap'n Crusty version of how to do it, take some time to read that...its alot easier than worrying about TDC. Rich |

Rich Yeah, I'm firmilliar with that method, I've just been adjusting valves using TDC on motorcycles so long, I've just grown more comfortable with it. Thanks. |

"Comfortable" enabled you to do the job twice. Both times the hard way. Personally, that wouldn't work for me ................. The Cap'n |
