Question about 1994 Mercury Villager

Where is the TDC notch on the crankshaft pulley?

I'm trying to time my engine after a rebuild and the TDC paint has worn off of the pulley. On pictures of the a new pulley, the TDC is the far left, which indicates that 15 BTDC is 3 notches to the right. However, the engine really seems to like running at about 6 notches to the right (30 BTDC). Is the TDC notch on the original pulleys on the far left, or are they more in the middle?

If you have a series of notches on the pulley then the middle notch of them all is TDC. Point of fact is that the notches represent BTDC ( before TDC ---advanced) and AFTDC ( after TDC-- late firing past TDC). If the engine is starting and running ok then it is not at 30 degrees BTDC or it would not start easily.Each notch probably represents 5 degrees

SOURCE: replacing timing belt 91 mercury capri

according to a manual , the crank key will point to arrow , the intake cam should have an letter i aligned with arrow on belt cover and exhaust cam should have letter e aligned with arrow on belt cover , and as always rotate the engine 2 full turns to inspect timing marks before cranking or trying to start the engine . if you haven't taken the original belt off yet , paint your marks for quicker reference .

SOURCE: how do you align the camshaft & crankshaft timing marks 1.9

This is the same as a Ford Escort 1.9, the #1 cylinder should be all the way up. To confirm- the crak shift mark should be on zero which is Crank Shift Center- THe camshift sproket should align with the headmark. Make sure both marks don't move. Align the belt- not too tight , not to loose

Rebuilt engine with timing problems
You have it right, the yellow mark is TDC and it's the notch furthest to the left...it e to be set at 15 degrees before TDC, but you have to disconnect the I.A.C sensor to do it.if it's still that far out, you're probably of by a tooth.bring #1 piston to TDC, pull out distributor, turn rotor to #1 on dist cap and put in dist..adjust accordingly. .

Timing belt broken
The only damage to the head will be bent valves so new valves will fix that end . Get a work shop manual (Aftermarket from a spares shop) (. Follow the pictures and directions closely or you will be doing the valves again .) IT is not TDC but where the timing marks point to . Replace the belt with a new one . AS oil is the killer of belts replace all seals and idler pulleys as well. As you are doing it for your son stay away from the wreckers as the next engine will want a belt as well . Have the job properly and have piece of mind knowing that the car will not let him down at a bad time.

Do not take it off before you are ready with the new one.
Turn the crankshaft until the engine is at tdc. The key on the pulley should be at the top.
Use a little paint brush and a little paint,and mark a couple of teeth on the camshaft pulley and the belt in between these teeth. if there are any other pulleys using the belt, do the same for them.
Do the same for the crank pulley. Take off the belt, try not to move anything. Count the belt teeth between these two marks and transfere them to the new belt. Now fit the belt in the exact places that the old one came off. Do this very carefully and you should have no problems.

If you plan on doing more than light tuneup work, I highly recommend purchasing a manual for your car. We have for each of three vehicles a Haynes manual and it contains all the details on maintenance possible for the shade-tree mechanic. All are based on a complete rebuild.

I am planning to replace the timing belt on my daughter's 95 Corolla and was wondering what I need to align where before removing the belt eg How do I find TDC? Camshaft pulley and Crankshaft pulley...
TDC is top dead center/ remove spark plug on cylinder no. 1/ rotate the crankshaft pulley using a socket wrench and power handle and check if the piston on your cylinder no. 1 reach the top center that is TDC/ remove timing belt cover and locate a synchronized marking on your camshaft and crankshaft pulley/ remove old timing belt/ install a new one but make sure that the mark on your camshaft and crankshaft is perfectly synchronized before putting the cover/ manually rotate the crankshaft pulley again and see if it rotates 360 deg. freely then you can be sure you did the job correctly.

Doing Top Dead Center(TDC) before T-belt
It is important that you turn the engine in the correct direction. To achieve TDC firing stroke remove spark plugs insert a plasic straw into the number one spark plug hole and proceed to turn the engine over observe the straw keep turn ing the motor until the straw travels upward when it stops moving up stop turning, you will know you are at tdc by looking at the timing marks down on the crankshaft pulley the notch on the pulley should line up exactly to the number zero on the timing plate at the front lower part of the motor very close to the crankshaft pulley turn the motor over again and again until you line up the notch on pulley with the number zero you may need to clean the numbers off on the timing plate or front cover.
