Hey guys, I am finally finishing my 1981 rabbit truck - the engine is in,
but before we installed it we could not get the timing to read as we
understood it should.
I was wondering If any of you can describe how to time the engine from
scratch. My pump was complately removed from the engine by the P.O and
now I am wondering if I have the pump timed 180 degrees off. I have a
dial indicator, it is in inches, i am looking for a metric one, but that
is what i have to work with now.
I have an injection pump locking pin, and the cam locking plate. If you
could explain this to me in steps it would be great - I have Jack Ewalds
directions and they don't make sense to me - how the hell can you zero a
gauge at 1mm? that's not zero dammit!
Please help - note , I have no tooling knowledge - so if you must make a
technical reference to pieces of the indicator please describe them so
that i can understand and learn.
Forrest
