I'm a pretty good mechanic with a moderate amount of diesel experience, but marine diesel engines are completely new to me.
So when my friend asked me I said "Valve Adjusttment , no problem, I can do that"
Right
Im having trouble determining tdc for valve adjustment. It's an M4
I managed to find one timing mark on the flywheel which appears (from what I can see in the incredibly cramped position I have to squeeze into to see anything at all) to read 1*4 TC and some other marks nearby. Which seems to work TDC for cylinder #1 and #4. But How to determine for #2 and #3.
Is there another mark for #2 and #3? Or am I missing something obvious?
Of course, If I had done the valves before I re- installed the injectors I could have just looked. But I was afraid of debris falling in.
Big Dope Slap!
Any help much appreciated- he want to go sailing tommorow.
