Help First Time On Valve Adjustments Options

[kbrunk1]

OK got the Pelican Valve Adj Made Easy
Got in 5th - driver side wheel in the air -- have rotor at notch. Found Paint on flywheel and notch in housing so I am close to TDC of cyl 1.
I can not bend enough to see anything on the flywheel standing from the wheel behind the drivers wheel looking in the hole.
Now Pelican says in Figure 11 there is a small opening you can see from under the car near the top of the transmission (? front of the engine bar I assume - found all the tin but no opening. -- you can feel it with your finger ???? (not)

Now I assume you pull the covers off with both wheels on? and Pelican says you need to mark the bottom of the flywheel in the gap I can not find.

Is this hole on the Oil filer side?



Stuck!

Sounds like you have found the notch and paint mark on the fan, not the flywheel. You need the car on jackstands. From under the car, there is a hole in the trans case where it bolts to the engine. You can see the flywheel there. There was a notch on the factory flywheel. There is another hole on the top of the trans case. You can stick your finger in the top hole and feel the notch as you turn the flywheel. When you feel it on the top and the rotor is pointing at the notch in the diz, you are at top dead center of#1. At this point, paint a line on the bottom of the flywheel. Rotate the engine till you see the notch thru the bottom hole and you will be at TDC for the next cylinder . Repeat process till you have done all four .
