I followed your instructions, everything seems to be lined up PERFECTLY! but the rotor does not match up with your picture. When I line the rotor up with yours the plastic tab reads it is 15 BTDC. Is this a problem? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> if so how to I fix it?


jeez idunno.

are you sure it is set at #1 TDC on compression stroke? then finish up
1989 fsm page 9-80 shows three timing marks- camshafts and crankshaft. The crank mark is about 15 degrees after 0 TDC

I want to know the answer too
good luck
