Hi there..!
Well I've just finished rebuilding my 2.3 engine, and everything went just as smooth as I wanted, but the problem started when timing the engine.
I've been searching in the forum and I can't seem to find the solution, so here what I've done so far.
Aligned the crankshaft mark to the block's mark and the distributor aligned at cyl #1 using this firing order from tech library (is it ok? seems odd to me)
The thing is, that it's suppossed to be a mark on my camshaft cover or at least I've read that. I don't have any problem with the mark on the camshaft sprocket (easy to see) it's just that I dont have any timing cover so I just don't know where to point it, from what I've read it should be pointing at 5 o'clock, and that's where I pointed (just pointed not aligned)
So it doesn't run ok and i can't time it properly even if I play with the distributor. It seem that is way advanced the ignition (lots of knocking and the exhaust manifold glowing )
So what can I do?
