Hi David, Your a hero!!! I have been looking for a Vid to explain the timing on a 450 for over a year now. I built one engine and got the timing right by luck rather than judgment with probing the No 1 cylinder and guessing really. Your second Vid was a great help too with the sprockets and very well explained. Got one engine apart and ready for assembly and will walk into the workshop tomorrow a lot more confident thanks for to your help. Big Thanks Matty
Hi mate. I’ve been a mechanic for 35 years and I’m actually pretty stumped on something here. I worked on just about everything there is trucks buses cars and never really come across a problem. However, I have a smart for two Sam engine that you are in the video with, compression valves camshaft all good. I have 12 V to each power pack. New fuel injectors are at work. Also spark from the power pack checked with spark plugs that are sparking against the engine. There is no reason why number three cylinder is not firing have you any ideas on this,? regards Gareth

Have you tried swapping the coil pack around to see if the issue moves to another cylinder?
