setting the timing on my ub

beermutz · May 15, 2016

I just got done with replacing my dist drive shaft and dist gear and I'm have a tough time getting it timed I have the marks lined up on the gears but I can not seem to find the dc 1-4 mark on the flywheel and there is a v notch in the case in the inspection cover is that my time mark and is number one on the back of the motor any help would be great

#1 is the front of the motor

(quoted from post at 16:03:29 05/15/16) #1 is the front of the motor

so my question is why is it when I rotate the motor and all my gear timing marks line up I get compression in the back cylinder and when I turn it over the 0 mark that lines up with the dist gear lines up with the crank gear I get compression in the front cylinder the cam gear has two marks a 1 and a 0 the crank gear has the 1 and the dist gear has the 0 when these line is that TDC of 1 that's where I'm confused

rotate engine clockwise looking at it from the front. Watch #4 valves when exhaughst valve closes and intake just starts to open that puts #1 cyl on compression and ready to fire. Line up rotor to the # one plug wire and you will be close enough to fire the engine.
