The engine is a correct era Ford...but not a flathead...but I think the priciple is the same...as I'm trying to figure out if this (Fordson Deisel) has proper valve timing without pulling the injector to check for compression.

Let's start on #1 compression stroke as the #1 valve just closed...just BTDC the mixture is ignited.

At TDC of #1, my assumption would be that the next cylinder in the firing order, it's intake valve should begin to open for it's intake chrge...would this be correct?

Or am I skipping over something?
