How would I know 'for sure' that my mechanic correctly got my timing straight on my car? I mentioned before that he took like 2 hours to figure it out and now I am a bit concerned. There doesn't seem to be any issues but would there be??
Also, is our 5sfe cylinder head a non-interference head? This post has been edited by 6G96GT: Mar 22, 2009 - 6:19 PM |

all S series engines are non interference motors. (smayy, you thinking of the ZZ?)
the easiest way to tell would be to verify mechanical timing using the BGB method. we have a couple of the BGB's posted in the resource thread in GD, you can download the manuals there. what i like to do is pull the distributor cap off, verify the location of the #1 plug wire (its printed right on the cap if its an OEM cap and also on the wires too if they are OEM). turn the motor clockwise till the timing mark on the crank pully is @ 0 and check that the rotor attached to the distributor is pointing @ #1, or 180* from #1 -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
