Too complicated for me to understand. However, for engineers like yourself, this the bread & butter of your trade. Boy am I glad for men like yourself who can do this for the average Joe blow, such as me.
This is the 3rd time I’ve watched you do the degree wheel timing. It’s starting to sink in now! I’ll still need to run the video when I come to do mine, but it’s perfectly understandable and a Masterclass in how to do this. Thank you Elin.
Elin, we all make mistakes but I prefer to call it “learning” - Don’t be too critical of yourself as “experience” is worth it’s weight in gold! Stay blessed my friend 🙏
Elin, thanks for this video! I understand (in principle) why the degree wheel is used, but seeing it done with your explanations is very educational as to the process. Also, you stress the importance of the 'clockwise' motion to account for timing chain slop/backlash; that, I would have missed and messed up the process!
Thank goodness Rusty was there to supervise operations👍👍🐶🐶 You explained the method very clearly👌👌, one question, how did you spot your errors when you did this previously? When I rebuilt my old Spitfire engine I bought a new high lift cam, but just used the sprocket timing marks. Whilst the engine ran ok I didn't unleash it's potential until I used a DTI and compass wheel to set the timing more accurately. I did mine with the head on. It's a long time ago now 30 years or so, I can't remember how or if I took into account the dwell of the valve lift. Great video, good luck from Spain!!
Well the video is staying up there and you can access it anytime. Actually many times I watch video tutorials too while working. Most of the time my own videos LOL
My first car was a 1963 TR4 with overdrive and dual Stromberg carbs. Now at the ripe old age of 73, I'm looking for a 76' TR6. What is your opinion of the 76' and should I take a gamble with one?
Hi Elin.. When finding the peak of the lobe - your first measurement on the degree wheel was 146 your second was 110. my first was 96 atdc and my second was 11 btdc. your second measurement (110 was actually 250 - after counting up). do i need to do the same making my 11 370? secondly why was my first number 96 not close to your 146? after I did the math I obtained 233 when i set move the crank to 233 on the degree wheel the dial gauage doesnt stop at 0. Would you happen to know why?
@@fgmanbulit2681 can’t figure out how to send you the link from my phone, but if you go to rustybeauties.com and click on the downloads section you will find the degree wheel and you can download it from there
That is a way too, but it is only possible with an open engine. Sometimes I have to time engines that are assembled already and the only access to the piston is through the spark plug hole on an angle. In that case I use a different piston stop that uses the sparkplug threads. So I am just used to finding the TDC with a piston stop, but the dial gauge method when the head is not on is a very good way too.

Absolutely the best video on degree cam on a TR6.!

Well explained Elin. The more you go over this procedure the clearer it becomes. Thank you for taking the time to explain timing.👌
Good explanation of one of the ways, probably the most accurate.
As for the mistakes..a man who never made a mistake never made anything.
Its been so enjoyable and knowledgeable!
I have watched each of your videos on timing and this time I think I got it. Thanks...Great video explanation.
Elin, we all make mistakes but I prefer to call it “learning” - Don’t be too critical of yourself as “experience” is worth it’s weight in gold! Stay blessed my friend 🙏
Elin I’m glad you put that extra support under the front of the engine! (That engine stand wobbling about gives me the willies ha ha!)
Great explanation of how to time.
Thanks a lot for this. I never really understood the use of a timing wheel before but you have made it very clear. Excellent job.
It's not pretty well explained....it's perfect ;) Thanks for this tutorial.
Great explanation and video. Stay safe out there.
Excellent demo very easy to follow.

It’s not early but you make it doable !
this was your best explanation!!!
Thank you!

It makes sense when I watch you do it, but if I tried on my own I'd be lost unless I watched your video while doing it. :-)

Hi Elin, I can't find the pdf file with the modifications so as not to make a mistake 🙏

Quick question, curious why you did not use a depth gauge to determine TDC? Going to watch this again to let it sink in, thanks for posting!
That is a way too, but it is only possible with an open engine. Sometimes I have to time engines that are assembled already and the only access to the piston is through the spark plug hole on an angle. In that case I use a different piston stop that uses the sparkplug threads. So I am just used to finding the TDC with a piston stop, but the dial gauge method when the head is not on is a very good way too.
Elin anyone who says they set cam/engine timing without making a mistake(s) is lying! The secret is to know it, and correct it!👍

Do you sell these wheels?
