Half the time I've helped someone - they've gotten a motor from somewhere - and they really don't know where the balancer came from (what it's off of) - or the timing cover... whether it's been checked against TDC... and they've no idea what the distributor is out of. Could be out of a truck for all they know... so this is the routine I go thru when things are "unknown".
Just had this with a buddy here - couple drunks put a "motor" in - he had more issues than you could write about. Bet he spent 1500 bucks on "tune ups" - and it just was a dog. I finally asked him if ANYONE had actually checked to see if the timing marks everyone was using were indeed what they said they were. They were off about 8*.
I had to do the old --- pull all the plugs -- put in a piston stop. Roll her forward make a mark - roll her back - make a mark - in the middle is 0*...
WAY OFF... Woke the old pig right up getting the timing where it was supposed to be.
