Super helpful. Clear explanation, no idiotic music, easy to hear you speaking, and your arrows/text edits made things easier to understand. I’m going to buy my tdc whistle now. Thank you sir!

If on TDC the rotor should be pointing at number 1 on the distributor not the number 1 cylinder! I used to always think it was supposed to point at number 1 cylinder but its on the cap number 1. Also first timing mark is for timing down below, second mark is for timing up top like you are. Awesome video

For me I had intake, power steering pump, fan ,fan shrouds off so all I did was one hand turn the engine over then other hand over the spark plug hole. Best way before you take anything apart take off distributer cap and line up the marks on the balancer and that should point at 6. There’s a couple of videos if you just look you can find em

Just use rachet and 1in socket turn the alternator take number 1 plug out and screw it in about 1/2 turn ..then turn motor over till u hear a hiss noise that's compression side move to first groove on harmonic balancer line up with v mark on the timing cover ..easy as can be with just 1 person

This is a simple, accurate tool!

@avery214j Год назад

Great Video buddy. Never had to do tdc. I did know that pointing at the# 1 cylinder was incorrect but you surely figured that out. Excellent video

I have this truck. Mine is a 5 spd. manual trans. Recently; 185,000 ODO ; a squeak coming from my crank that marks each revolution of the crank. Might I guess it is the harmonic balancer? 1st thought it was the water pump. Changing that and the belt , tensioner, idler pulleys did nothing to the “squeak” that is getting worse. Even at idle in neutral.

Beautiful truck. Im restoring an 89 with the V6 that has been in the family since 89. Any recommendations

Your truck is goals for me

@BuildYourOwn 2 года назад

You're awesome! Thank you! I've got a lot of videos making that truck look like you see it now. Here's the playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLZPFVgOzDxzUNotTlw4KYrOgZebABH3Gg - I also wrote a 3K + word article on my website called, *GMT400 Upgrades and Performance Parts* . It's the biggest and best resource online for all the things we can do to fix up the GMT400. www.buildpriceoption.com/gmt400-upgrades/ - Thank you for watching!

I believe the other mark lines up with something underneath, this really is difficult to do with one person I have been trying to use a length of s/s wire and holding it/feeling it move is hard while turning the wrench with the other hand - I am gonna look for one of these whistles so I can drop in a new distributor

@ga7367 Год назад

Just put socket on alternator and turn it and take number 1 plug out and screw back in half or a turn when u get to compression side and TDC the plug will make hiss noise .then just find groove 1 and line up with mark on timing cover .

Others are saying #6 on the rotor. About 9 o’clock. Line up the nipple with the line and after dropping in the final rest should be 9oclock sitting on #6
