G'Day all,

I am trying to adjust my timing, but I can't find any timing marks on the fly wheel?? I have had a really good look but cant see anything...? It's a 1968 ex-army LWB 4cylinder 2.25 petrol. There isn't anything on the front pully either. Can anyone tell me another way of checking it? Do the marks on the flywheel fade over time??

Oh yer can someone please tell me what the hell NOS and FFR stand for?
Kind regards

tim (darwin)

NOS is new old stock.

FFR is fitted for radio

as for the timing, I've not looked at the 4 cyl in my ambulance, and my series 3 had a holden at the moment, to be replaced with a landy 6.

You know, strictly speaking, throttling the staff is my job

It should have either the flywheel timing marks, visible (but not real easily) through a hole (with cover) on the flywheel housing behind and a bit above the fuel pump. This was replaced by a notch on the edge of the front pulley, and a three pronged pointer under a couple of the timing chain bolts, the prongs marking Top Dead Centre, and,3,6 degrees Before TDC. If neither of these are present, you can determine top dead centre for No 1 using a screwdriver or similar through the plug hole, and use a temporary pointer to a temporary mark (or make up the whole setup permanently). See the manual (see Dave's Interesting Things - SERIESIICD)

Early 2.25 engines had the flywheel marks, but later ones had the front pointer. As the flywheel and the front pulley are interchangeable, and the pointer is simply a bit of bent sheetmetal held under the timing cover bolts, it is easy to see how you could get an engine with no timing marks, but perhaps a bit difficult to see why anyone would leave it that way.
