Step one take out the big plug in transmission -- not just the small one. =
Step two Use breakerbar and socket to turn engine over ---go normal ro=
tation -so you do not loosen hardware. Inspect flywheel carefully for s=
igns of a TDC mark. (and let me know one way or other.) Step tree r=
emove one injector. (I do # 1 all the time) Put old oil dipstick down so i=
t touches piston. move piston to top.If you have a mark on flywheel it must=
line up (you do not need a mark to time engine) Let us know what you find.=
Step four : remove valvecover. Then with piston top both valves closed=
and pump timing mark exactly lined up you are timed. No need for f=
ancy tools at this point dial indicator comes later.
Fuelling screw ---be careful and keep track. Got the feeling you did not tu=
rn the right screw. It has a bigger locknut than the power and idle spee=
d screws. If you are lucky yours has a seal wire still on. I shall gu=
ide you -- just did mine so my procedures are fresh. ---- now I got=
to worruy about tickets. -----NO smoke. loars of power. I only run about=
7 psi boost. Hagar.
PS: I remove return fuel banjos to get to screw. Be absolutely CLEAN.
