Guys, Im scratching my head here, I thing this car may be out of whack.
I just need some rule-of-thumb refreshers as I cant find a definitive
resource whether it be Bentley or the internet.
Engine is an 83 WX with a MC head, and original UrQ transmission.
*Question 1: where exactly in the window should the "0" on the flywheel line
up? There is a white-ish stripe on the bellhousing near the top of the
window but I had been led to believe the "0" should be split by the tab that
protrudes out - about mid point in the window.
*Question 2: where exactly should the notch in the cam wheel line up? at
the top of the cam cover? or the top of the head itself - where it meets the
gasket?
*Question 3: Is there a direct relation between the position of the
distributor and the sensors on the flywheel? or can the distributor/hall sensor be
pointing any direction as long as the window lines up with the hall sensor
while the rotor is pointing to #1...
I got the motor un-stuck and while the compression is still a bit low, it
should be enough to run. It has spark and fuel, and it will run with the starter
pushing it, but not on its own yet. - which leads me to believe that its some
sort of timing issue.
Thanks guys
Sean
