Rotate the engine so that the static timing mark is at 25° BTDC. If the marks does not go that far
take the 12° mark and multiply the distance on the pulley or plate by 2. If you are not sure if No 1
piston is on fire, unscrew No 1 plug and blow through a rubber pipe into the cylinder. If no air can
be blown into the cylinder then both valves are closed and the piston is on fire stroke. Otherwise
turn the crank on full turn to the timing mark and check again. Put the distributor into the hole and
ensure that the rotor is positioned under plug wire of piston No 1. If the distributor does not want to
go in completely, it may be stuck on the oil pump shaft. Rotate the engine it a bit holding the
distributor in place till it mates with the oil pump. Also note that the rotor rotates in one direction as
it is inserted. Take it back to the 25° mark. Now turn the distributor till the rotor is exactly under the
no 1 pole. Lock the distributor nut properly and ensure that wiring is tied in the correct manner to
prevent damage or strain due to engine movement. NB! Do not adjust the distributor again.
Rotor fazing is now complete.
