How do I check timing with a timing light on a /6. I know how to set the static timing however I want to check with a light. I have seen that some cut an acess panel in the firewall. I don't want to do that at this point. There isn't enough room to fit a timing light.

Reviving this old thread because I recently encountered this problem on my -6. The timing just didn't seem quite right.
1) From what I've gathered, the issue isn't that the timing marks are in the "wrong" place. It's that there's a difference between where the flywheel marks can be viewed on a 911 vs. 914-6, and so they will appear wrong if a stock or aftermarket 911 flywheel is used on a -6. Is that correct? 2) Memory refresher, please: Why are 911 flywheels marked at all? I don't remember an access port so the flywheel edge can even be seen after mating to the transmission case. Are the marks there to assist during assembly? Seeking knowledge. TIA. - MR |
