@@OliverFetter one of my beloved mk1s is gutted at the moment 😊I am fabricating A posts and doing bulkhead and scuttle repairs, not to mention struts and complete upper part of inner wing nowadays.. and yes.. on both sides 😁 And I have already replaced complete front panel. The chassis rails were OK,.but apart from them everything needed and needs attention on the front. Once I have finished the front jobs, I will put it on the rotisserie for further cosmetic repairs (sills, floor and rear part is solid 🤞).. and once I finished all the metalwork I will put together the engine (NA 1.6D) on a stand..(everything belonging to engine bay is already sandblasted, powdercoated,. yellow zinc plated, whichever applicable, block is painted close to factory green) . aaaand there comes your timing video!😊👌 sounds like a plan innit?.😁 So yes, I will time this small engine, but wanted to share the background, why I scheduled it to 2024. Sorry for the long writeup cheers!👌
This will be very helpful I have the service manual but it’s nice to watch someone actually do it I am just replacing my injector pump with a spare soon here and a little nervous about the tolerances with making sure everything is in time
@@OliverFetter posted that comment a little early. Gotta get those old rusted pulley bolts off for the lower timing cover. THEN this video will have me golden
here in brazil has a guy who dont like to use the flywhells timming beacuse que already see some of them some degrees wrong. then he take off the first injector and use a clock to take the TDC direct from the cylinder
as i said you need take out the first cylinder injector and use the clock tool direct on top of the cylinder using the injector hole the highest mark of the clock is the most precise TDC but the injector seal need to be replaced every time you take out, keep in mind and if is a little off mark make some good mark in flywheel where should be
wow! I will be very grateful for this video hopefully somewhere in 2024.👍👌
Planning a timing job?

Don't apologize! That's cool!! Sounds like your elbow deep in it 👌👌👌 I'm sure you'll have a beautiful car at the end of it. Thanks for sharing 😁

Glad itll help! Definitely turn it over by hand for a few revolutions prior to starting! Then you know you're safe at least 🌞
You have just gotten my Caddy back on the road. Wish i would have gotten a new belt tensioner
Let's go!! That's dope 🙌🙌

@@issaghost2945 😆😆 there's always something
absolutely awesome video. I love your channel, I am currently working on one (swapping it into a Suzuki sidekick) and I am getting ready to time it.
Hell yeah that's a cool project!! Glad you found it helpful 🤘
Love it, super helpful. Injection timing next!
Absolutely!
here in brazil has a guy who dont like to use the flywhells timming beacuse que already see some of them some degrees wrong.
then he take off the first injector and use a clock to take the TDC direct from the cylinder
I like that. I'll have to compare!!
How would a clock tool be used? All I've ever know was the flywheel mark, so the method you mentioned is new to me and I'd like to test it as well.
as i said you need take out the first cylinder injector and use the clock tool direct on top of the cylinder using the injector hole
the highest mark of the clock is the most precise TDC
but the injector seal need to be replaced every time you take out, keep in mind
and if is a little off
mark make some good mark in flywheel where should be
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
