OK, I want to check and adjust the timing on the 2.7L six that i recently installed in my 914 but could use some advice on the subject. How in the world would you be able to point the light at the pulley unless maybe you were under the car while it turns 3K rpm - that seems a bit dangerous though. How's this done? BTW, I have a nice craftsman adjustable timing light but have never timed anything with it.. actually haven't timed anything for a looooong time, advice is appreciated!

Ummm ... what? Group: Members Posts: 781 Joined: 17-January 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 163 Region Association: Northern California |
Doug,
The opening Tim refers to is on the top of the flywheel housing at the center rear of the top of the engine. You can see it by looking straight down at the housing past the forward edge of the trunk lid. |
