Teeners,
I took the engine apart to clean it, will add more about that within the rebuild thread I started - however - I removed the distro without noting the rotor position, can someone advise as to how to re-install the distro if I did NOT mark the position of the rotor. Sigh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  UGH! |

I don't feel so bad as I did the same with my 2.2T motor, engine was out like yours ,remove rocker cover on number 1 cylinder and set to TDC ,refit dizzy and line up rotor to the notch (number 1 ) on the body ,as it go's down it will move off line due to the drive gear engagement adjust so it is central and you have equal amount of advance/retard when moving the distributor body if not move it up and reset however many teeth required. I was out by one tooth (advanced) so reset that ,got it right then. It makes no difference if it's a Marrelli or Bosch unit as the principal is the same but seem to remember there is a difference in full advance degreases from one to the other .Cheers. |
