CAS question

[HeckYes]

in the FSM it says to " make sure that No.1 pistion is at DTC on its compretion stroke" befor i can install the CAS correctly. im at TDC but not sure if its on it compretion stroke or not.

Just set it on TDC like you have it. As long as you have the needle lined up with I believe scond mark from left you should be fine. Am i wrong?

If you leave the spark plug out of #1, as you rotate the engine over you'll feel air blowing out of the plug hole, that's the compression stroke.

The other way is, with the valve cover off, the cam lobes for #1 will be pointing outwards to sides of the engine.

Either way, when the cam lobes are pointing out, or you feel air coming out the plug hole, point the crank mark to TDC (2nd from the left). Now you're at TDC!

Stab the CAS in with the mark on the gear lined up with the left mark on the CAS body, then you should set the timing with a light.

that makes sence. i like the spark plug idea. thanks man

Yeah when the motor is at TDC.. the cam lopes for #1 cylinder will be facing away from eachother. the piston will be at the top of the stroke..and the dial mark on the front of the motor will be over the Second mark from the left on the crank pulley.

Let me know if you have any questions.

if you have AIM my name is sil80315
