desertsoob Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Long story short, there is no timing marks on my balancer. I need help finding TDC so I can position the crank trigger. I am assuming that 0 would be TDC correct? WHats the best way to check this? I really should go get a manual for this thing! Quite a bit different than my old EA81!

Turbone Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 You could do it the old fashioned way. Pull #1 spark plug and rotate the crank until you feel the air being pushed out of the cylinder. You can see/feel the piston when its at the top. Should be within a few degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsoob Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Even sillier question, whick one is # one? I was thinking odf doing that with a dial indicator. Is there a way to tell by the mark on the crank/timing belt pulley? Timing belt marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubPar Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If you still have the factory spark plug wires on it, they should be marked 1-4, or at least they are on my EJ25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertsoob Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Thanks guys! I dont have a manual for it yet. It was from a JDM 89-93 Legacy. Not sure what manual would be the right one to get since the car was never imported here. I really only need the engine info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suberdave Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 #1 on subaru unless its a RHD - Always cylinder farthest from the driver I hate to say it but I think your wrong... The cylinder # has nothing to do with the driver. The #1 cylinder on any engine foreign or domestic, is the one closest to the front of the engine, closest to the radiator. It should be the right front cylinder, or passenger side front on any Subaru. Note: right and left on a car is always when you are sitting in the driver’s seat. Never when looking under the hood. -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
