Title: Valve adjustment - TDC marks??
Post by: Bolek on November 09, 2014, 10:24:37 AM

I want to adjust the valves on my 98 Maluch Town.    any DIY's online?

how do I find TDC?  where are the timing marks?

The timing marks are by the pulley. There's a line in the crank pulley and an arrow on the engine casing. If you remove the spark plugs and put the car into 2nd gear you be able to turn the engine slowly by rocking the car untill the marks line up. If you place a thin screw driver into the spark plug hole you will know that the piston is at the top. That is TDC.

thanks!  I found the mark,  pretty straightforward.

lined up marks  by pushing car in 4th gear (even easier).

checked valves (some where closed, 2 were not - adjusted those).

One more revolution to line up marks again.

Checked second set of valves :)
