Hello,

I bought a Haynes Manuel to get some information about to check the valve clearance. In the book only for the cylinder 1 is a description.
my question: how can I find the otp on the other cylinders ? are there also marks on the pulley, like cylinder 1 ?

thanks for the help
arthur

No marks on the balancer for the other cylinders. You can follow the firing order and count the events. You can also use a piston stop.
When you get the chance order a Factory Service Manual for your vehicle It is a LOT better than a Haynes.

There may be three marks on the balancer 120° from each other. After you set #1 refer to the firing order and step through your adjustment procedure. With two revolutions of the crank, you'll be done.

Rotate the crank to the next mark. That will allow you to adjust #5.
