Does anyone have a diagram or picture of lining up the dots and ect. when putting the crank hub on? Thanks for your help Paul

 

What year is your car? I'm assuming a 96 or 97 with a keyless hub. Anyway with the dots lined up on the crank and the cam with #1 piston at top dead center, the arrow on the hub should be up. But what I also did with mine is just look into the hub. You should see the marking on the inside from where the keyway should be and line it up. I might be a lil off on this but check before you do it.

 

Acctually dot to dot is TDC for #6cyl. 12 12 is #1 TDC.

 

Nope I don't think so buddy boyyyeeee I just put mine in today brother.

 

#1 and #6 cyl peak at the same time, the cam determines which one is at TDC.

 

Huh.....how does the cam determine which one is as TDC????? Even without the cam in #6 will hit TDC when you turn the crank. That never changes. What you said was 12 and 12 was TDC for #1.

 

Correct, cam dot and 12 and crank dot at 12 = #1 TDC.

DUDE.....right now I'm looking in my #1 cylinder and that **** is at TDC. You must be just saying it different. dunno dude. There is only 1 way the thing can go on.

 

Yes and your #6 cyl is at its peak also. #1 and #6 peak at the exact same time, you can bring #1 to its peak then install the timing set "dot to dot".

There is a different between a cyl reaching its "peak" and TDC.

 

My bad dude......I was confussing myself. I thought something and ran with it.

 

He's right. On the LT1 12 and 12 is #1 TDC. Dot to dot is #6 TDC. I figured this out when doing my cam and "dot to dot" made for lots of loose roller-rockers when adjusting the valves, heh.

12 and 12 is #1 TDC on an LT1. Shoebox helped me figure this out

I agree with the way Grendal explains it above.
