Dude you actually really helped me. I ended up having my rod backwards cuz I couldn't see my timing marks on my custom install on a Datsun roadster. You help me tremendously. I ended up having the rod backwards which caused four 4321 firing order instead of one two three four. So I just switched out around the plugs and now I'm running.

The factory is not going to guess and stab. I was wondering what their trick was to get it timed without getting frustrated? Index marks. Thanks for sharing. This is helpful.

I've rebuilt and pulled the oil pump on so many KA-E's I've lost count. The drive gear is so easy to misalign it's pretty much a gamble. If its on a stand it's not too bad, but in the car going in at a 45 degree angle while trying to keep the shaft aligned with the oil pump dimple is literally just a guess. Once you've done it a few times, you'll know right away looking through the distributor hole if it's off a tooth. The good news is, misaligning it will not hurt anything, it just won't start or run rough.

Yep. The L-Series is the same. If the timing isn't setting correctly, this is usually the reason.

I found that doing this when the engine is still in the car to be difficult. The crank gears move the tdc mark off a tooth and the timing is not correct. Maybe if i push it in a slight angle so the tooth on the gear realign correctly?
@i2edeye Жыл бұрын
I show this in my latest video, it can be a hassle. if you find it keeps clocking a tooth on install, try pre-clocking it.

Verify that engine is time but its off on the distributor since the rotor is facing the 3rd firing point on tdc i wanna say its 90° off is my only option ? to take off the oil pump and line up like or is there way i can without
@i2edeye10 ай бұрын
If it is exactly 90 you can move the #1 spark plug to the #3 spot on the cap and reorder the other spark plug wires accordingly. Not ideal but doable. You could in theory put a slotted plate at the base of the distributor that allows almost infinite adjustability also. The issue arises if you are off a lot, you can damage valves and pistons or backfire hard enough to blow up a muffler. You want to be sure you are set to 12deg btdc (KA Ignition Timing) at the distributor before starting the engine.

No. The interface between the pump drive and distributor drive doesn't move when you turn the distributor housing.

I have tried everything and lined it up 100 times and still cant get it to start... I did not mess with the chain just the guides and after installing i got no oil pressure (i solved that) now i cant get timing right even when everything is TDC and lined up as it should be.
@i2edeye Жыл бұрын
Are you able to verify cam timing to the crank? If so, you should be able to set the static timing (not running) with no bolts in the distributor to see how far off you are on the drive spindle.
