Rookie Questions....

5.0CRAZY · 11-15-2003, 12:56 AM

I bought a timming light and Im gonna be bumping my timming.
I need to know which cylinder is #1. (I think its the front passenger side one?)

Also when trying to mark the damper, how do you rotate the damper/crank so you can see the timming marks?

Rookie questions I know sorry.

Cylinder #1 is the front passenger.

To rotate the crank, you can either get a crank nut and use a wrench/ratchet to rotate the crank. Or disconnect the coil and use the starter to rotate it, just move it a bit at a time and be careful, especially if you have a TDC locator tool in the cylinder head.
