Hi Guys, It's time to do some routine off season maintenance on the 914. The car has a 2.2s spec motor. My question is, how do -6 owners adjust the ignition timing prior to a valve adjustment? It looks damn near impossible to get a timing light reading. I know cutting into the firewall is an option for ease of access but I'm not willing to get the cutoff wheel out yet. Does everyone drop the motor and tune at a shop that has a running motor stand? I'd just like to double check the ignition before setting the valves. Thanks in advance.

If you really don't have any timing marks on the flywheel or possibly incorrect ones,
then get near TDC of #1 looking at the distributor and find true TDC through the spark plug hole and appropriate indicator (probably need top valve cover off ). Paint the TDC line on the flywheel. For timing measurement use a light that has a degree advance built in. |
