And You Are Right That It's Cylinder 4 Which Is At TDC When You Allign All The Marks On Timing Cover, Cam Pulley And Crank Pulley. You Have To Rotate The Crank 180° To Make Cylinder No 1 TDC And Timing The Ignition At No.1 Plug Coil. RPM Should Be Set At 800 And Flywheel or Timing Cover Position At 10° At Sea Level.
Concept is right, but you don't adjust all the valves at TDC on number one compression, just all of #1 valves, #2 intake and #3 exhaust. Rotate 1 full turn and adjust all of #4 valves, #2 exhaust and #3 intake.
Great video - lots of careful work. I thought, until yesterday, that we'd left, checking and adjusting tappets, back in the 1970s and maybe the 1980s (later if you run a classic, like a MGB, or AH Sprite). My mate rings me to say, that his year four/ 40,000 mile service on his Suzuki includes checking the tappets. As his car has only covered 10000 miles, we might leave it another year or two, as there's no tappet noise etc - the aircon always sounds horrendous but the engine is like a sowing machine. I thought that most modern engines had hydraulic lifters - that only required shims with 50,000-70,000 miles on them. Every day is a school day!
Rj sounds good im excited the shark in April thats coming in April some sun shine to me since my grandma passed away February 28 rip GRANDMA see YOU in heaven some day
@@kennylo2163 No. 4 TDC is 360 degrees away from No. 1 TDC. So if you start at No. 1 TDC, when you rotate clockwise 360 degrees you are now at No. 4 TDC. A cylinder fires every 180 degrees. Firing order: 1 3 4 2.
You know intake lash spec is 0.006 ... Exhaust side is 0.010 ... And that is set for a middle temp range, cold is, I = 0.005, E = 0.009 Hot/warm is, I = 0.007 E = 0.011 Their only thousands but if it ran rough after you did that, that might be why just a btw 👍👌
You keep calling the intake valve the exhaust valve. The valve nearest the intake plenum is the intake valve, the exhaust valves are the ones with the rockers on the exhaust manifold side. Just thought i'd mention it.
So help me out here, I just did the head gasket on my 96 x90, and am having issues, Im a driveway mech, so bear with me, I set the marks on the crank n cam at 20 , like they say, when I took it apart, and the crank was rotated during takedown, but put back with 1 and 4 cyl at tdc when I put the head back on, put the cam back in the way I took it out, Valves were backwards to this, The back one where loos, but I had to rotate the engine to loosen the front valves, Did I put it together on the exhaust stroke? I ran it, and it idled just fine for 30 minutes, took it down the road and lost power, Had to pull it home, only drove it a mile, and it started knocking, Now I opened back up and see my cam gear was off one tooth, , So,, to begin, Should I take the head back off to see if I damaged anything? or make sure its on compression, then set the crank to its mark and the cam straight up, rotor at no 4, and crank pulley at 5 degrees btdc? , Then set the valves?
