removed distributor but forgot to mark the position of rotor
On Fri, 02 Jul 2004 11:43:26 -0700, something compelled Derek

If your heads are still off, there isn't much point in trying to get the timing set. I guess you could drop the 2 push-rods down the #1 sleeves and rotate the engine by hand. Yeah, you could, but you have to install the intake manifold before you can install the distributor, and you have to install the heads before you can install the intake manifold. |

removed distributor but forgot to mark the position of rotor
remove the plug from cyl #1 (or any cyl), put your thumb over the hole, turn
over the engine until you feel compression coming up, then some more, then use a small screwdriver stuck down the hole and turn the engine over very slowly until the piston has stopped moving up. Take cap off distributor, noting which plug wire the rotor is pointing at, insert distributor in hole and tighten hold bolt enough to kept the distributor from slopping around. The spark wire the rotor is pointing is the wire you run to cyl #1. then run the rest of the plug wires to the prop plugs in the proper order. You engine will start (assuming all else is okay), and then time the engine. Then go boating and enjoy. |

clarification:
remove the plug from cyl #1 (or any cyl) The spark wire the rotor is pointing is the wire you run to cyl #1. (or the cyl you held your thumb over) |

removed distributor but forgot to mark the position of rotor
dean, go pay some guy $95 an hour for four hours for what a sixteen year old
kid could do in twenty minutes. installing a distributor is EEEE fickin ZEE. 10,000 high school boys (and 1,000 high school girls) did it over last weekend. remove the plug from cyl #1 (or any cyl), put your thumb over the hole, turn over the engine until you feel compression coming up, then some more, then use a small screwdriver stuck down the hole and turn the engine over very slowly until the piston has stopped moving up. What shade tree do you work under? The screwdriver bit went out with Briggs and Stratons 3.5 horse motors. Take cap off distributor, noting which plug wire the rotor is pointing at, insert distributor in hole and tighten hold bolt enough to kept the distributor from slopping around. The spark wire the rotor is pointing is the wire you run to cyl #1. then run the rest of the plug wires to the prop plugs in the proper order. If the distributor is out of the motor you'd think that maybe, I said just maybe that the distributor shaft would have been moved somewhere in the process. You engine will start (assuming all else is okay), and then time the engine. Then go boating and enjoy. Then following these directions you haul the boat down to a tech that really knows what he's doing and ignore any post from this asshole JAXAshby. After following the post made by JAX for the last several months, I quickly came to realize that you'd have to be a fool to listen to anything this guy has to say. While he claims to know just about everything, you should read some of his post in the other groups where he asks questions that a first year high school shop class student could answer. Dean |

10,000 high school boys (and 1,000 high school girls) did it over last
weekend. Must have been one hell of an orgy. Sorry, couldn't resist.

high school girls can get a little excited. of course, there were 9,000 ****ed
off girls left over. :-) 10,000 high school boys (and 1,000 high school girls) did it over last weekend. Must have been one hell of an orgy. Sorry, couldn't resist.

doouble dee (why would a guy silicone himself?) Fountain rattles as if he is
the Lost Idiot from some distant village, but then again perhaps he really *IS* lost to normality. Let's assume the later and address his issues one point at a time. DD ean Fountain writes: Following your instructions, you're certainly right, any 16 year old could do better job well, timing a distributor certainly is purdy easy. explaingin how its done. too many big words for a double D villiage idiot to comprehend? Not to mention, could run rings around anything you attempted to do. now, *there* you have stepped beyond your knowledge base. *you* have no idea what "anything" includes in my skill sets. Have you ever seen the head removed from this type engine? of course. I doubt it! well, you ARE the village idiot. Or the pistons? huh? The heads are small chambered heads huh? English is an unknown language for you? and half the surface area is within a millimeter or so of the piston at top dead center. so? not accurate, but even if it were, so? So shove a screw driver in there, shove? run the engine over to TDC **run** the engine? *you* start the engine and _then_ push a screwdriver through an open spark plug holes. Why? Or maybe *you* use the starter motor to whirl the engine over -- spark plugs removed -- at top speed before inserting the screwdriver? if so, just how do you get the engine to stop for you right at tdc. say double dee, ever consider turning the spark plugless engine over by hand using the crankshaft pulley, or maybe a socket on the nut on the end of the crank on a long arm to turn the engine? pretty steep concept for a village idiot, but think about it next time. and you'd be buying some poor fool a motor for scarring (double dee, the English word for what you are trying to say is "score", not "scar") the piston how are *you* going to scar the piston, double dee? the screwdriver is resting on the piston top and backs up slowly out of the spark plug hole as you slowly rotate the crankshaft to get the piston to tdc. easy, double dee, even for the village idiot. or the cylinder wall. if *you* can't tell a piston crown (that's what the top of a piston is called, double dee) from a cylinder wall ask someone to show the difference. Obviously you have never turned a wrench in your life. obvious only to someone in a drug altered universe, double dee. Notice I said wrench and NOT winch. yes, I noticed you used the word "wrench" which is the word I assumed at that moment you intended to use, but why are you telling us that is the word you intended to use. are you not certain which word you intended to use? Just because you are physically able why are you worrying about me physically? but mentally limited to turning the ignition switch on a boat you mean I don't know how to turn the ignition switch on a car, or motorcycle or airplane? Gee, I have had licenses to operate those vehicles for decades. doesn't mean you have any knowledge of mechanics. well, I know the author of "The Perfect Storm" put a gasoline engine in the ill-fated fishing boat. Do *you* know how he did that? Do you understand English well enough to read books without pictures? You are so sincerely full of **** "sincerely full" as opposed to "insincerely full"? your too ignorant to figure this out for yourself. I dunno. I have never "scared" a piston with a screwdriver in several decades. From what I can see you have plenty of people trying desperatly to explain this to you lots of people "trying to desparatly (sic) trying to explain" astrology to me, too, but that cut any weight in informed circles. but like an alcoholli, your in denial. now double dee, are you REALLY saying that anyone who disagrees with your idiot statements re pistons is an alcoholli (where the hell did you get that word?) in denial? That is 98% of the world. the dope you smoke has fried your brain. now double dee, you have slipped on the sidewalk of life and have broken your ankle. spend a few months healing, visit with your spiritual adviser, get your teeth fixed and get someone to explain to you the difference between 12-point and 6-point sockets. |
