Cam sensor

[Brad_H]

So I rotate to TDC on the compression stroke and line up @ zero

This is what I did

Pulled #1 spark plug out and slowly rotated engine by hand (with my thumb over the whole ) until I felt air hitting my thumb and lined up the mark to zero

I also looked in the spark plug whole to confirm piston going to the top then go down as I past zero

Is this the compression stroke?
My window on the cam sensor was facing this way

Where's the timing mark on the balancer/hub?

need to put the reference point of 25* atd on the balancer, rotate the engine to 25* which the window on the sensor needs to be at 330. Then I use a cam sensor tool to rotate the cam cap till it lights

So with what I've mentioned , So Does everything Seem correct? I'm replacing the timing gear set

Anyone?

Measure 1.45" from the zero mark on the balancer to the left (while you are facing the engine) and make a mark....that will be 25* after tdc. That's where the engine needs to be when you drop in the cam sensor....when it's fully seated, the window should face the #1 spark plug. That should be the starting point for using the caspers cam sensor tool or back probing with a digital voltmeter.
