TDC Timing Pictures(KA24E) Please verify.

I've read through pretty much every TDC thread in these forums and have not seen any pictures of TDC for KA24E, so here goes some. Only problem I have is Distributor is set at number 2 when my book says to set at number one. On the contrary the book shows a picture of the distributor at firing location #1 set on plug 2. I have the crankshaft pulley timing mark set at the second notch from the left(0 degrees). Also can someone verify that when piston #1 is up, you cant stick anything past the length of the spark plug?Sorry for the long post here are the pictures and thanks in advance.

remember that the motor has 2 tdc. take out sparkplug #1 and turn the crank around until you feel air comming out of the plug hole that how you know your on the compression stroke. or its still the same i say your distributor is 180* off and i think you need to take out the oil pump and dist. and re-set them correctly. please verify nistech.

It is dead on right now, look at the key way on the cam its straight up , the rotor is pointing at #1 and the crank is on tdc.

[wild_maxx]

good point. so the dist. must be 180* off.

no its right on TDC. It is not out at all.
