v8 distributor removal UPDATE!

<< < (4/4)

bambamjj:
Well thanks to a good chap from Wessex Hillrunners it is fixed, took him 20 mins  :roll: and all it cost me was a jet wash as we left Romsey quarry today (£2)  :D

So got to go to Romsey Quarry today for a good bit of mud wrestling?

And must admit she goes like Bloody Stink, thought had bit of lag in Auto box but no way, but now has irratic idle when you put it in gear but touch the excelerator and whooosh she is away.  :twisted:

First thing on shopping list now is new off road tyres.

 :D  :D  :D  :D

Colin 009:
Thank god you got it sorted eh, :D

Skippy:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but to find TDC on cyl 1 don't you just use some kind of a probe in thru the spark plug hole and then whilst rotating the crank, you can see when the piston is at the top of it's stroke on the compression cycle?

Range Rover Blues:
You could if the plugs faced down onto the piston but as they go in on and angle you risk jamming the probe into the piston. I just use the timing marks on the fron tof the engine, assuming the car is running, set to TDC in the crank pulley with the rotor arm pointing at no.1 plug lead.  Mark the position of the rotor arm onto the dizzy then unbolt it and remove, taking note of where the rotor moves to as you withdraw it, this is the positoon it needs to be in when you shove it back in, bearing in mind it has to line up with the oil pump drive and locate the skew gear on the camshaft.
