newtoit Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Rebuilt engine.. What is the firing sequence on the distributor?
Nick OTeen Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 You didn't specify which Cosworth engine but it is probably 1 - 3 - 4 - 2.
newtoit Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 You didn't specify which Cosworth engine but it is probably 1 - 3 - 4 - 2. 116e engine . Problem is cylinders 1 and 4 not firing.
Nick OTeen Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 116e engine . Problem is cylinders 1 and 4 not firing.Any backfiring when trying to get it started? Check and make sure you haven't crossed up the plug wires on 1 and 4.
Ian7 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Also, its not just whether the wires on the cap are in the correct positions. There are typically 11 drive teeth on the distributor drive gear, and therefore 10 ways to get it wrong when you install it into the block....

Cannot find any info on timing marks. Any clue? Valve clearences also
