Jrod 7 Posted May 11, 2007 You aim it at the fly wheel, to adjust you turn the dizzy I think its 8 degrees BTC but don't quote me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sutol 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Should be a marker on the flywheel somewhere, have a look in haynes Or you can find TDC on No1 and mark the pulley yourself (prob more accurate) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The place to aim is between the engine block and gearbox bell housing at the front, usually covered by a plastic plug. I usually find it easier to put tippex on the correct marks, shows up really well under the strobe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
