Mmmmmmmm, OK...
Thanks. I didn't want to take the rocker cover off if I could help
it.
I wonder what the
missers will say when she finds her broom has been shortened... :)
Maybe I could say it was a performance mod... :)
Geordie,
Take the plugs out of
the engine and put a clean piece of wooden rod (old broom handle cut off
etc,) on top of the plug hole and press down As you turn the engine
over if on compression stroke you will hear compressed air escaping
between the dowel and the plug seat.
Cheers
Feral Errol

Sorry if I appear dumb, but what sort of engine are
you using this home-made
job on?
I am interested in finding out more
from you about this, I have just bought
a microtech EMS and am going to
hook it up to my SR20t tonight. It appears
to be a very simple system
as far as wiring, but the software appears
quite
detailed..
Another thing is that when I got the engine the
Crank Angle Sensor was
removed. I believe that to install it is similar
to a Dizzy, you put the
motor on TDC#1, install the dizzy/CAS with TDC1
mark or rotor posi lined up
with the sensor/#1 pickup, and then offset
it by the timing angle, ie 10deg
or 8 deg or 15deg whatever is
required?
Is that the correct method?
Also, if that is so,
then how do I know I've got TDC on #1 and not #3? Do I
have to pull the
rocker cover off and check which one has both sets of
valves
closed?
If anybody on the list knows any of these answers I'd
appreciate it... Maybe
Pete knows?

Just a little
update on the home made engine management system for
anyone
interested.
The ignition part of the system works now – I
was up most of the night with
the system plugged into the back of my
computer throwing sparks all over the
joint. Great stuff – really
wakes you up ! All that’s left now is to mount
the crank angle
sensor and it all should work. It’s actually quite amazing
how
much stronger the spark is compared to the old dizzy setup.
The
Fuel injection system is coming along as well – I obtained some
old
Webers which I’m going to use as throttle bodies. All I need
now is to
construct an EFI manifold which has inch and a half exit
ports to mate with
my
head.
Jeff
