Can anyone point me to a thread or tell me where the mark should be positioned in space. I only have the pull on right now to set the valves so I have no reference point (not that I would recognize one if I saw it). I have the motor on a stand so standing in front of the pulley looking over the top of the motor toward the fly wheel were should the mark be for #1 at TDC? Right now it appears to be at about 200 deg. Is this correct?
Thanks -Pete |

QUOTE Whatever you have heard in the past from other people, do not turn the engine using the impeller fan. It's just not worth breaking a fan blade when there is a much better approach. Bullshit. Grab the fan by HAND and turn it if you dont use the road wheel method. The fan blades only break when you use a friggin screw driver in the fan to turn the engine over. A engine with 5k miles on it will turn over by hand (grabbing the top of the fan and pulling towards the passenger side (backwards of the rotation 1/2/3/4) B |

After looking at this article again I see that it has been updated, pictures too. The old article said, as I recall, "do not use a screw driver in the fan blades to turn the engine over. "
I agree, Brad, turning the engine over by hand using the fan wouldn't seem to be cause for breaking blades. Must've been an oversight on the proof reading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ............b |

Thanks guys
Since my motor is on a stand (no injectors, spark plugs or trans) I have been using the pulley part of the fan to turn the motor over. The problem I was having is there are no stationary references with out the fan housing and trans bell housing to reference when checking the marks. I am thinking the marks should be rough 180 deg. or straight down. Mine is past that by many deg., I will recheck my books and the tech articles when I get back over there this afternoon. Thanks again -Pete |
