Using the piston stop method...(cw mark,ccw mark)...the difference between the two readings ,im coming up with 10*btdc....shouldnt i be getting 0* for tdc This is on a 94 5.0 mustang and the balancer is new aftermarket
Im not fond of the positive stop method, but you rotate to stop, record #, rotate opposite direction to stop, record number, then remove stop and rotate again and add half of what the diffrence was recorded
My math keeps coming up around 3 to 4 degrees BTDC. 13+20 = 33 33/2=16 degrees. Take 16 from 13 and you get 3 degrees BTDC. Take 16 degrees away from 20 and that will leave you with 4 degrees BTDC. So in between 3 and 4 should be true TDC if your numbers were right. Could measure it with a tape measure (thank a tailor tape) from your measurements, then just divide that by half. Another easy way, lay down a piece of paper on the HB, make a mark with a sharpie on the paper corresponding with your 2 readings. Now just simply fold the paper until the 2 sharpie marks on the paper are alligned evenly. The crease fold will be exactly halfway between the 2 marks. It isnt real uncommon for the TDC mark to be off by a few degrees.
Your all completely wrong. Just thought I'd let y'all know the correct way.......... This message courtesy of crapatalk!
