When did GMC start making inline 6 engines?
In 1964 GMC offered the Chevrolet 230 inline six engine, it brought economy, efficiency & low initial cost to the line duty trucking industry. of GMC Truck & Coach Division’s 50 years of truck engine design experience combined with the vast resources of General Motors Research & Testing Laboratories.
Where is the number one cylinder on an inline engine?
On an inline engine, the number one cylinder is located at the front of the engine, closest to the timing cover. Most old school mechanics would just use the finger method. Place one finger over over the end of the hose, then rotate the crankshaft (clockwise is best but not essential).
What causes the engine to go to TDC?
As the engine is rotated, the piston will force the dowel upward. When the end of the dowel is at its highest point, the engine is at TDC for the #1 cylinder.
When to set engine to top dead center ( TDC )?
When setting the engine to TDC on the compression stroke for cylinder #1, you must realize that the crankshaft rotates twice for every single rotation of the camshaft. So, if you simply set the crankshaft to TDC without looking at the position of the camshaft, you may actually be at TDC on the exhaust stroke for cylinder #1.
Where is the 1 cylinder located at TDC?
It will appear in an opening in the bottom of the clutch housing near the starter. When the groove is centered in the opening the #1 cylinder is at TDC. Personally, I don’t care for this method because if the groove is not centered in the opening, the timing can be off ±1 tooth.
