I have done this to old A12 and new A12A. They are exactly the same.

Your copied procedure also seems to be the same, except for the use of the word "rock" -- I've never heard that before.

Hi DD

Ok Thanks
I will try it over again ,My TDC mark on the pulley is not that clear sometimes i might have missed the correct point, what is the best method to get the correct TDC ?

thanks

Remove the cap from the distributor. Rotate the engine until the distributor rotor points to either #1 or #4 position and points begin to open. Then you should see the 0 mark on the timing cover line up with the single mark on the crankshaft pully.

With the A-series engine, you can turn the engine clockwise or anti-clockwise. So it is safe to turn it back a little, then forward again.

Or if you cant see the marks at all take out number one plug and hold a screw driver near the top of piston and when you turn it you will feel piston hit the screw driver TDC is when its fully up.

Hi Guys


Removed all the plugs and did it individually.do you hear any abnormal on this sound
But engine is very smooth .

seems normal to me.

something does not sound right.

Probably two things:
* is the fan belt correctly tightened?
* other sound could be exhaust leak or valve clatter

When you performed the Valve_adjustment for 0.014 inch HOT, did you insert a 0.015 inch gauge to ensure it would not fit?

Hi DD

I also heard that strange noise fan belt is ok i checked it .
do you mean there are not correctly adjusted valve ? according to how it was earlier it is very smooth and quiet , but sound looks strange to me i have never head slimier

thanks

If it was quiet before the valve adjustment, and after it is now noisy, then YES the valves are not correctly adjusted. The proper procedure was used I am sure, by the sound of it running. But the gap may not be correct. Use two feeler gauges, the specified one to set the gap, and the next one up to ensure it is not too wide gap.

Do you mean "similar"?

Hi DD

I set the valves to .35MM so it is basically 0.14, now it is very quiet and smoother than earlier could be one valve would have gone out of the measurement.so i will check it later day again, it is running very smoothly and fast and also fuel economically.
