Thanks Jay.
I just wanted to verify.... I tried 2 weekends ago to set "Exact" TDC, but with the piston stop installed, I was able to rotate the engine clockwise with a breaker bar pretty smoothly.....(it took quite some leverage to turn), but was not able to rotate the engine counterclockwise (and yes I had all of the sparkplugs out). Is this normal? we tried 2 times to do it, but just loosened the balancer bolt both times. I am guessing because of all of that Timing chain, and the 2 cams turning against springs, and the tensioner.....not realistic to be able to turn counterclockwise?
I am positive (within 1 to 2 degrees) that I have TDC marked correctly on the balancer now with the tape.... But the first time I had it running, the balancer said 30 degrees BDTC (before I retested TDC) and now that I have TDC re-marked with a new timing tape, I get it running and the Balancer says 60 degrees BTDC. I did notice that it did not take much of a turn to get that number to fall... but when I did so (and the timing light started to read as low as 30 degrees btdc, the engine sounded bad.
I think with this "Stupid" EFI, I will have to get it running at whatever gets it started.... then because it quickly leans and makes changes by itself, I will have to slowly turn the distributor a bit a at a time in order to get closer and closer to 13 degrees BTDC... each time giving the computer time to learn and even out.
Or find someone with 2 carbs LOL
