NS4 - Checking Engine Timing

  1. Connect timing light. Have an assistant crank engine while you observe timing marks. If timing is 0-16 degrees BTDC, remove distributor cap and crank engine to ensure rotor is turning and is indexed correctly. Check engine compression and valve timing.
  2. If timing is not between 0-16 degrees BTDC, set timing to 10 degrees BTDC during cranking. If engine starts, reset timing to specification. If engine does not start, remove distributor cap and crank engine to ensure distributor rotor is turning and is indexed correctly. Check engine compression and valve timing.
