So I'm setting the static timing on the new motor today. A few questions, as I want to be absolutely sure, and I've never done this from scratch like this:
1. Valve types (exhaust/intake) match up with the piping, so front to back they go:
ex in in ex ex in in ex
2. TDC is when the #4 cylinder exhaust (the last valve to the back) is just closing, ie the spring is decompressing, and the marks on the pulley are at zero. This way you have the proper cycle.
3. The #1 spark plug position on the rotor is roughly 2 o'clock.
Do I have this correct?
If this is correct, it looks like I got lucky and put the distributor in properly and not 180 out.
