small, air-cooled engines
that may have an automatic
compression release
mechanism built into the cam
shaft (either in the cam
grind or as a centrifugal
device), I always taught my
shop students that you can
never go wrong by bringing
each cylinder up to
TDC-compression and then
adjust the valves for that
cylinder. There are often a
variety of short-cuts where
a manufacturer will tell you
to adjust certain valves at
TDC - Compression of #1
cylinder and then the rest
of them at TDC â?? Exhaust #1
cylinder but those are
engine specific. Most 4
cylinder engines have a
firing order of 1-3-4-2, so
if you see â??valve rockâ??
(exhaust closing, intake
opening) on # 1 cylinder,
you know that #4 is at TDC â??
compression and its valves
can be adjusted. Then, turn
the crankshaft a half turn (
total number of cylinders
divided by 2), and adjust
the next cylinder in the
firing order which would be
#2. Then 1. Then 3.Â
Distributor rotor position
on a gas engine will help
you figure out who is at TDC
â?? compression. Diesels donâ??t
have that option, other than
pump timing marks for #1
cylinder. Look in your shop
manual for details.</span></p>
