CPS correctly timed?

[Fletch124]

Im doing a 2jz swap into my mk3 as some of you know. I drilled out the slot for the timing to be set. I searched and only really found one good picture:

Im not sure if I fully understand the caption. I figured the bar sticking out should be right infront of the sensor part. I think i got it set correctly just want to make sure.


Correct? (at TDC)

Looks right, you'll still have to set timing though.

True I just wanted to make sure my base timing(0degrees) is set correctly.

Thanks Poodles!

omfg, when i did my timing, i thought you were suppose to align it with the sensor part! Shit! My car has been running little different.

Thanks Fletch and poodles for this, i gotta fix my shit now.

Timing is adjusted with a timing light...

Hell, I never took the cap off mine when I installed it...

No need to take the cap off at all. All they needed to do was align the matchmarks.

Man, I need to make another (new) diagram. That one isn't the best. I should really get on that.

For what it's worth, I always pull the CPS cover to check the integrity of the gasket, and make sure there's no oil leaking inside.

Mine was brand new, so it wasn't necessary :biglaugh:
