[DML] Re: Verifying Valve Timing

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PRV crankshaft pulleys have timing marks for both Cylinder 1 and
Cylinder 6. You can use both to verify valve timing on both sides of
the engine.

There's an access plug on top of the engine (not the one closest to
the front of the block) through which you can rest a foot long 5/16"
drill bit on Cylinder 3 (or is it 6?) counterweight. Starting 20
degrees or so BTDC, rotate the engine until the bit falls into an
indexing hole. Cylinder 1 is now TDC (timing mark should be pointing
at 0 on your scale). Set actual spark with engine running of course.

Once timing is set on Cylinder 1, use your light on Cylinder 6 to
verify it's OK too.
