Which way does the engine turn, facing it at the front of
the car looking onto the degree marks of the damper, clockwise?
What is the recommended degree mark setting to set the
damper, such as: 4 degrees ATDC, for tune-up?
If the engine rotates clockwise, all degree marks to the
left of the 0 degree mark are properly referred to as
ATDC. Is this correct?
Check out my rebuilt damper. It has two large markings
on it. I believe one to be at TDC. The other is four
degrees to the left of it. Did a previous owner remark
the 0 degree TDC marking, or were they placing another
larger mark at 4 degrees away in order to see that mark
easier for timing? Your best deduction apprecited.
Oh, one more thing: After bolting on the timing chain
cover, how deep into the cover do I press the oil seal
that slides onto the crank and presses into the cover?
Does it go flush with the cover's interior oil seal or
do I leave 1/16 to 1/8 inch protruding?
Thanks,
