The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Trying to figure out valve events and TDC

That's what I'm trying to determine...if the cam (evidence shows the timing cover has been off before) is in time.

Where I "think" TDC should be (or close) I have to rotate the engine another 20*'s or so to get to my marks...leads me to believe the timing set was not installed correctly at some point.

The tractor guys are pretty good-and have helped me out quite a bit in the past-but questions like I'm asking seem to bit a bit much for the restoration crowd

Thanks...I think you have the same thinking as I do.
