4agze ignition timing

[LO01UX]

ok so i finally got my gze running but now i have realised that stupidly i dont think i put the distributor back in on TDC

does anyone know where it should be sitting at tDC as it would really help!!

there should be like a dimple on the shaft which then lines up with another mark on the housing.

searching for pics now

line up the actual dimples, not the press pin or whatever it is

Ok kool so I line then up and have the engine on TDC n then slot it in and it should be all good?

afaik you need to line up the timing mark on thew crank to tdc, the dimples on the cams to tdc, and the dizzy. The cam appreaing under the oilcap should also have a notch facing upwards. I think that's all that there is to it. Cuzzo explained it to me when we were setting the timing on my 4A-GZE, but I may have forgotten something along the way.

There should be guides online for confirmation

The "pointy" bit on the rotor in the CAS should be pointing almost straight down IIRC too.
