  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I did not know there are three marks on timing gear

When i went to adjust my valves on 09te310 i lined up the marks on timing gear to top of head grove. Now i see on one of the threads there are three and the double mark is tdc. I do not remember witch one i used. Should i go back and redo it with the tdc one or does any think the other marks should be ok for this time. Live and learn.
 
If thats true, I'd re-do it. Using the wrong timing marks could largely change your valve openings, thus changing your valve clearance....
 
IIRC, if you're set at the correct marks, all four cam lobes will be pointing the same angle (intakes canted forward, exhaust canted rearward) toward the center of the head. That's not scientific but helps to back up questionable marks. Hope this helps ya.
 
it kinda sounded like you adjusted the clearence. If so then ABSOLUTELY check. If you just checked them than I would still re-check for peice of mind that you surely know whether thay are in/out of spec. Seems likely that you checked at the right point though- because the results did not alert you or were off-

I just checked mine last weekend- I did it the Dave Hopkins way (watch timeing of valves check in/ex individually/ not tdc) and the Husky dot way/ tdc. same results- I did that for piece of mind/double check. When I "looked" for the dots I was just looking at the lobes both turned inward/up as Ioneater described- and "some dots" lining up. I didn't even worry about there being 2. Cause that was the right spot.
