| Post subject: | Timing Chain Woes |
Hi Guys, I am new this slant 6 motor. I needed to put a new timing chain on my slant 6 motor. So I took it apart and found it jumped time. I put the new gear parts on dot to dot(lining up line through cam bolt like manual said to do) and put new chain on. My big question is where should the distributor be pointing(what cylinder)when completed?? Also when you follow the shop manual it does not say to up find top dead center, in the process above does this take care of that? Because my timing mark is a hair after top dead center. Any help in this matter would be great since I am a newbe to this..... Thanks again, Scott |

Distributor will point to either #1 or #6... depending on how the gears were marked. Just set the engine on TDC - Compression for #1 cylinder and install the distributor so the rotor points to the 4:00 position. Static time and wire from there, 1-5-3-6-2-4 firing order, clock-wise rotation. DD |
