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' ? . |
