welshpug 1,666 Posted February 17, 2008 ang on is this an Mi16? as they never had adjustable distrubutors and hence no marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted February 17, 2008 MI block, 1.9 Flywheel, 1.6 Box. Should be marks on the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,666 Posted February 17, 2008 aaaah, nope. those timing marks are on a plate bolted to the block not the gearbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted February 17, 2008 That explains that then. I always thought that they were on the box (not paying attention all those times) Dont suppose anyone has a spare plate off the block as I just parted with my last engine. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The timing is exclusively controlled by the ECU, the distributor cap is only there to make sure the spark goes to the right plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
