Timing chain

Pishta's drawing is about as good as you can get online. I would have guessed that the cam sprocket might be a tooth off based on the pix; you can see that the line is not quiiite dead on the center of the cam sprocket bolt and is in fact a bit to the left of center of that bolt.

But if the camera is not dead straight on and in right in the middle, then you can't really tell 100% from an internet pix.

Agreed, look where it would be if it were 1 tooth off, it would be more obvious than the slight parallax the camera shows.Ooh, also check out the FSM pic in post #44, see how everything is lined up for tdc? Check out the crank key way position....pointing to cylinder #1. Shazam! :rolleyes:

The FSM recommendation on the distributor drive direction is only to get the vacuum pod in a position (iirc pointing at cylinder 8) so it can be moved without hitting anything. You can wire your cap up any clocking your rotor point on tdc is at.
