Hindenzerg1266 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Good evening all, In the process of chasing down a high idle problem, and I decided to check everything was correct at TDC while I waited on some gaskets to come in. I have the car at TDC, on the compression stroke, both the valves in cylinder 1 are closed (I have the valve cover off to check them), my screwdriver is about halfway through the "lull" to tell me the #1 piston is at it's highest point, and the timing arrow is pointing to the 0 degree mark. HOWEVER, the keyed shaft (forgive me, I believe it's from the oil pump) from the oil pump to the distributor looks like it's off ~11-13 degrees. There are 32 teeth on the oil pump shaft right? So 1 tooth off would be ~11.25 degrees? Going to take a look at it this week, but just wanted to show some pictures and see what you all thought. I took the picture, threw it into OnShape, and then threw in the 5 degree line that the FSM calls out as what we're looking for. Thanks!
