More then likely bent my valves

[Oldblueaccord]

Also there are 2 TDC centers. One on the compression and one one the exhaust stroke on a 4 cycle motor. of course you want to be on compression side.

Check your compression again.

Also you may have to move the distributor a little to get it to fire the timing might be way off. The rotor should just,just be over the #1 post in the distributor cap at TDC if you take it off and look.

I think you put the belt on then get the tensioner bolt started. I don't think it goes on easy with the bolt holding the tensioner. My problem is the hanger that holds the spring slips off the tab on the block.

i get off at 8 so ill give the flywheel another run threw. if i cant find it ill try the piston idea.

[Oldblueaccord]

On compression (power) stroke both valves will be closed.

On the exhaust stroke the exhaust valve will be open.

Good luck with it!

if the valves are bent and you dont want to rebuild it i will sell you a complete head minus dizzy and manifolds for $60 bucks plus shipping.

if you still have that head next month i might buy it what would shipping be?> cheapest? i need to rebuild one anyway and it would let me finish the carb mock up stuff.

Well I'm broke right now. But I hope I really didn't bend them, cause if I did I'm screwed for a little while.

I was also way to tired to work on the car. I have worked on her for 3 or so days now in 10+ hour shifts on her....

past 2 nights I was up till 5am working on her..

Your valves are fine. If you can't find the T on the flywheel, set the engine to what you believe to be TDC. In this position, the key on your crankshaft pulley should be pointing straight up (they do this to make it easier to keep the key in the slot when you are doing the timing belt). That should be very easy to see. If it is right, then take the valve cover off and try to move all the rocker arms on the #1 cylinder. You should be able to slide them laterally on the pivot shaft. If both these are right, then you are good. At least, good enough that you should be able to start.

If you got that right, but still can't start, then you you need to do a standard no start troubleshooting procedure. Check fuel, check fire and check air.

Found this today while google searching.

It seems that the TDC is close to what I have but, now where would I put the bloody thing, On the top mark, bottom mark, or right in the middle.

Nevermind guys.

I took my LED flashlight out to take a look at the flywheel.
there is a damn almost invisible line in between the to lines and the 15.

So I now found my timing mark...so I'm off by like 1-3 teeth.

I'll fix it real fast and see if she works.


*Edit I was wrong again. I found the T mark*

BIG BIG BIG Thanks going out to everyone who helped me out threw this hellish week.

I have gotten her running shes a little rough. But I can figure that out in a little while.

Video for your pleasure.

But sadly by distributor cap locking screws broke when I was taking out the plug wires. So its kinda rigged in there with plumber putty untill tomorrow when I can go pick up some gasket seal until I can get a new distributor.


Again big thanks going out guys.

One of my distributor cap screws broke on me when doing the first tune up.
If you are good with tools and have a steady hand you can drill the broken screw and then re-thread the hole. I did just that.

You should go with a smaller drill bit and try to drill as much centered in the broken screw as possible, and you will need a tap of the right size for the screw you will be using.
I cannot recall how big the holes in the distributor cap are but in the ultimate case you may re-thread it a little bigger. If the original screw is a 4mm (don't know if this is the right size, just an illustration) you may try a 5mm screw. in that case you'll need a 5mm tap and handle.
Go easy with taps as they break easily.

If you need more info just post; I know others here know how to do this as well.

Thaks bunchs. I don't have the tools on me. But I know someone who does, so I should be able to do this and save me some money.

Thanks again.
