On a freshly built but never installed, never ran.. oil never added and sitting for years 1.7L engine: I've verified TDC @ #1 but the rotor tip is showing 180 deg. out.
Is that just a matter of loosening a bolt and rotating it to face towards the driver's seat (apprx).. or is it gonna be more of a 'pull the distributor and re-clock the gear down in the bore' ? . |

QUOTE(Artfrombama @ Jul 26 2024, 08:03 PM)  The #1 piston is at TDC twice during a cycle. Once at compression, then on exhaust. Make sure you're on compression (both valves closed) when you time the motor. Got it, thanks .. it's all coming back now. The builder had the distributor correct after all. Though, the valve adjusters feel awfully tight w/ the valves closed - I'll go ahead and check them all while I have the covers off. Tight side of .016" intake/exhaust, IIRC ? |
