TDC on the wrong stroke... Lets see - the crank turns twice for every cam revolution, right? There is a notch like thingy (like a flat indentation between 2 teeth) way around the other side - on the inside. If the 'dot' on the outside isn't used, then I am not on the power stroke, and I don't have to have a stroke myself figuring out how this thing could run 20 degrees retarded... I'll pull the plugs tommorrow (rotates much easier that way!) and recheck - cause it ain't comin apart till I know how it should be! BTW - the sprocket pn is 049 109 111B - anyone around can check their fische for me and see if this is correct for an 87 tq (prob correct for every I5 ever made...) ********************************AUDI FAN****************************** EMCM(SW) Dave Head 87 5KCSTQ 170K miles and counting... 1.8 bar boost - @ 1.3 the shuttle launches Maitland FL **********************************************************************
