[QUOTE="Johnny69, post: 432947, member: 18175"] Okay I'd really appreciate some help with this. I'm trying to work out where the timing has been set on my early bay. It's a 1600 twin port engine with a vac advance dizzy. Its starting snd running but i want the timing checking. Anyway I've got no faith that the dizzy is installed correctly so I'm trying to find top dead centre and am trying to check this by making sure that number 2 exhaust valve is rocking - there's a video on youtube showing how to do this and the guy gives it a push and it rocks back and forth. Problem is no matter where I seem to position the pulley I can't get number 2 rocking at all!! The valve goes in and out when the pulley is moved around but for the life of me I can't get 4 exhaust rocking by pushing it as shown on the youtube clip. Anyone got any ideas? :| Cheers Johnny [/QUOTE]
