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.

Appreciate the video, in the middle of a timing chain job on my 97. Replacing oil n wtr pump and all seals. Also putting a ratcheting tension on. Thanks again!

Glad to help. Wish I had known about the ratcheting tensioner before I put my last one together. Next time I will be upgrading.

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.

@@i2edeye im going to give it another try. It ran for a few weeks and started to backfire out the intake. Maybe bad valves too but i know the timing wasnt 100% confident on

@@goat_horde Checking the clocking of the drive tab. You can see it in the title screen pic on the 521 timing vid. The KA and L Series are pretty much the same.

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

@i2edeye 10 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.

holy fucking shit i think the oil pump shaft was off a tooth on mine making it not run unless advanced passed the point of adjustment

@i2edeye 2 жыл бұрын

It's easy to bump the drive gear and get it a tooth off during installation. The 521 I am cleaning up has the same thing going on.

Is it possible to destroy or make the oil pump inefficient by rotating the distributor to make timing adjustments?

@i2edeye Жыл бұрын

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.

@NightKnight1776 Жыл бұрын

@@i2edeye so pull the valve cover off and verify i have tdc on piston 1 with exhaust lobe to the lower right and intake lobes to the lower left and the chain marks line up? if all this is correct im not sure why it wont go back to original timing.
