1995 Suzuki Sidekick Camshaft Timing

1995 Suzuki Sidekick Camshaft Timing. Common mistake is to assume that when all the timing marks are aligned then the #1 cylinder will be at TDC of compression stroke. No, it is #4 cylinder! When all the marks are aligned then the distributor rotor should be pointed at the #4 cylinder spark plug wire. For more, see my face book page, Suzuki Sidekick Restoration Project. After figuring out the problem here, I removed the distributor and then turned it 180 degrees and then reinstalled it. That way when the belt pulley on the cam had mark straight up then #4 was at top for compression stroke and distributor rotor pointed to #4 plug as it should be. Also see my video on the distributor and timing for more info.
