    Default Setting the timing and cas

    okey dokey.....


    just put the head of my motor back on, set #1 to tdc

    and the timing mark on the harmonic balancer doesnt corelate to the 0 degree mark, instead it sits at about 20 ish. and there is only one mark.

    and when installing the cas, eeeeerrrr..... how do you do it?
    I got the back cover of the cas off, and the button thingy lines up with the top contact.

    .....

    Me and my mate a mechanic, set it it to tdc with head off and noted the timing mark in the pulley was off. and the we used a SST screwdriver down the plug hole to find tdc again. The mark on the HB lines up with the 20 mark on the plastic back cover thing?????

    Yes, Yes I am. I get the feeling by your question this is something worth mentioning?


    But can anyone give me instruction on installing the cas.
    can only find instruction on a dizzy, which is a tiny little different

    When on TDC, the mark on the crank is ment to line up with a pin sticking out of the oil pump, which is close to 12 o'clock I think. You probably swapped the black plastic cover with another motor.
