PATHRIDER Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Ok guys im working on my tbelt right now and everything lines up but the rotor is not facing cylinder 1? I counted my marks on the old tbelt and it is 40T from cam to cam and 43T form drivers side cam pulley to the crankcase pulley. Do I keep crankin it till it all lines up with the rotor facing cylinder 1? Could it also be that when I pulled my distributor before I didnt set it up properly? Thanks fellas Edited August 30, 2007 by PATHRIDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 if cams and crank is set at TDC, then just pull up rotor, and set it to where it points to #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What'd you take the dizzy out for, anyway? It's fun getting that back in pointing the right way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATHRIDER Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I took the dizzy out about a year ago coz I couldnt get me rotor out when I first did a tune up..It seized up. I got the timing belt installed and I mustve screwed something up...My marks are dead on both left and right cam pulleys and crankcase gear...counted the teeth again and its 40T from right cam pulley to left cam pulley and 43T from left cam pulley to crankcase gear....pulled the dizzy out and set it almost shooting straight to Cylinder 1....Adjusted my tensioner to 5:30 and 90deg flex on the belt....cranked the crankcase at full revolution few times and theres nothing binding however its got like a springy feel to it every 1/4 or maybe 1/2 a turn...Is it supposed to be like that or does it crank smooth all the way? Coz if it isnt Im screwed...I wrapped everything up and started it...It runs but it runs rough and I couldnt see my timing marks Thanks fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 springy is normal. have a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The Springy feeling when cranking it by hand is the compression of the cylinders.... Pull the plugs if you dont want the resistance... If you have it running your close on the timing... My dizzy was off by about 3 teeth, then i was able to tune it in at 15'BTDC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATHRIDER Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Whew...Thanks fellas.....Ok guys i got it to run smooth...I messed with the dizzy and now its at 15 btdc but i could not go below 10..Should I leave it alone...rpm is at 800 Another thing is when I rev it up it takes a while for it to go back down to idle @ 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 ^^^ then you're still off somewhere. it should be smooth, like baby butt, (lol) whn in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy at autozone that has the same pathy and worked a lot on his truck also suggested that I pull the valve cover off to find my tdc Edited August 31, 2007 by PATHRIDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
