Timing 4.7 stroaker this is TDC #1 cylinder but I never have been able to get it running right. The timing marks on the gears don't line up. This engine was built by 505 Performance.
If you rotate the engine over one more time, the dots should line up. Take a picture and post it up once you do. If they are truly in time, then the distributor may be out of time.
With #1 spark plug removed, turn the engine over clockwise using the 3/4″ front crankshaft bolt.
You will see the degree marks on your front cover and you will see the timing mark on the balancer. Mark them with chalk or white-out.
While turning the engine over, put your finger/thumb over #1 spark plug hole. As the mark on the balancer approaches the marks on the front cover, if you are coming up on #1 TDC, pressure in the cylinder will push on your finger. If there’s no pressure, you’re at #6 TDC and need to crank the engine over until you see the marks coming together and you get pressure. Set the mark on the balancer to the 0 mark on the front cover.
If you rotate the engine over one more time, the dots should line up. Take a picture and post it up once you do. If they are truly in time, then the distributor may be out of time.
Yes they do line up however its on the exhaust stroke TDC #1 cylinder.
