I think our job here is done.
Hopefully you learned something?
How's that ancient Japanese saying go...
"Set a man's 40's timing and it'll run for a year,
Teach a man to set his 40's timing and it'll run forever"?
I think that's it.
No, it's usually not that hard. But I've been doing it a long time with several different dizzys. You can "clock" or rotate the dizzy body to any position you need, like get clearance for a vacuum advance diaphragm. You can have your rotor pointing in any direction as long as it is under the...
This is a 2F oil pump. It is sturdily built, has 3 or 4 moving parts in it.
My 2Fish engine runs all day, comfortably at 2k RPM. Means oil pump spinning at 1k RPM. All day long. I don't think you can hurt an oil pump by spinning it with a drill. I think the drill would give out first.
Senior moment or no, we must know:
1) have you been able to comprehend the basic workings of a 4 cycle engine? Primarily the fact that there are 2 TDCs?
B) can you reliably and repeatedly set your engine at the correct TDC?
III) can you do so and then post a pic of your dizzy rotor?
Well, yes. I have quoted my own post many times in many different threads over the years. I got tired of typing it. Figured everybody had seen it by now.
My apologies to the neophytes.
Well, you could be 180* off or just a tooth off. I don't care where the slot on the oilpump is pointing, i only care to get the rotor in the right place when the dizzy gear catches the cam gear
