Hello,
I am having problems with the alignment of the Crank Shaft and the Cam
Shaft on my 1978 Spitfire. I have the crank shaft with the Key up and
the mark in line with the mark on the engine. I have the cam shaft
sprocket mark aligned with the notch in the hole and the other sprocket
mark aligned with the mark on the engine.
So here is my question. With the Crank and the Cam Shaft aligned I
would assume that the #1 cylinder valves would be closed. The way that
I have it set up the second valve is partially open. I am also assuming
the #1 cylinder is towards the front of the car. So what am I doing
wrong? Please let me know what valves should be open and closed with
the cam shaft at the correct position for TDC starting with the first
valve.
I really would like to get this running and out of my wife's parking
space before she returns home Friday.
Thank You
John
