Trying to picture this:
A thick gauge wire? Or 14 gauge wire from the Positive Battery post to the injection pump solenoid (is there more than one wire?)
Now, I just need just one of the jumper cables (RED) to attach from the Positive Battery post to the 1st glow plug. After 15 seconds, then what? Move that jumper cable (RED) to the starter???
Now, how does my friend jumper the starter with a screwdriver :?: Is he touching the jumper cable (RED) to the solenoid too?
Kinda hard to visualize it.
Also, I just wanted to see if the timing was right on the engine block. What I did (might have been the wrong thing...LMK) was get a socket to attach to the cam bolt and turn clockwise. It was moving but then got really tight, I think I heard a metallic tick (did I break anything?). Well, I turned it the other way (counterclockwise) and it was slightly easier to turn. Then I turned it back clockwise and then it tightened again.
I have no clue what I'm doing. I just want to make sure the timing was right before I start the engine with your directions. I couldn't get to the crank bolt, that's why I turned the camshaft bolt.
Did I harm anything by doing what I did?
How, hard would I have had to wrench down on the cam bolt to break anything. I think I just applied about 15 pounds of pressure when it began to tighten.
Is it suppose to tighten like that or keep cycling through continuosly?
When a normal running engine stops...does it automatically stop at TDC??? I'm assuming it doesn't.
Is there an easy way to set timing with just simple tools like a socket wrench and screwdriver???
