Cylinder # 3 in my '92 has zero comp. I lined up the marks at 3 and 6 (correct?), put air to the spark plug hole with a glove on the exhaust and PCV valve out. PCV checks for bad rings, glove for exhaust valve and glove over TB for intake valve. Exhaust glove inflated. Did I do it right? Started it with exhaust glove still on for giggles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbemE08N5uM

If firing order is 1-3-4-2 then the next quadrant would be # 3 so the marks should be 90 deg advanced (3 and 6) right?Originally posted by blkfordsedan View PostComment

If you're not sure just pull the VC off and you will know for sure when both valves are closed by the lobes on the cams. But its been my experience lately that #3 likes burning up valves. Last two motors I've rebuilt have had burnt exh valves on #3.No festiva for me ATM...Comment
