I'm viewing the great valve adjustment article over at pelican & have my one wheel off the ground to get it just right but I have no viewing ports into my flywheel.
How then can I get the tdc worked out? I did the straw in the #1 cylinder trick too, put it in & note when it is most pushed out and before it goes back into the chamber... But it still feels like its not just right. Thought? |

TDC is not THAT critical for setting the valves, just take off the distributor cap and note which cylinder is coming up, turn until points open on that cylinder and then set that cylinder and move on. from your other posts your compression is good so valves are not your problem for lack of power or smoking, all you need is compression spark and fuel for power, the smoking may be residual oil in exhaust or leaking rings/wornvalve guides.
