The 2.5 has zero tolerance between piston and values. I can rotate the crank with no problem. I think in is on TDC. If it is 180 degrees out would I be able to rotate the crank?

If there is zero tolerance between valves and pistons ( how did you measure it. (Head has to be on to get a reading) then I would say that there has been valve clash with the piston and the valves are bent. If that is the case then you will be able to turn the crank 360 degrees with little resistance.

SOURCE: Timeing

check all vacume lines some will cause your motor to act 180 out and also if valves are chatering get a feeler gauge and set them to 12 if to much drop down one..

SOURCE: 2003 kia rio crank seized tried replacing timing

Hello;
Bad news. You have probably bent the valves in the head. When the belt was removed it was not at TDC and the marks not lined up. New engine or rebuild. Sorry....

SOURCE: Timing appears to have jumped 180 deg. How do you

Check to make sure that the timing mark is there when #1 is TDC.Leave the wire on #1 cylinder and place the plug on somethig metal .With all the other plugs removed bump it over until #1 sparks. I would think that maybe the roll pin that holds the gear to the bottom of distibuter may have shered .This would cause issue.The cam and crank sensor will not make your timming off 180Deg.Timming chain will.But 180Deg I would think not.Where is the #1 cylinder when it is lined up in the cap? Make sure that you can't turn your distributer.Don't think you can turn it that far without removing it.

SOURCE: I set cam and crank timing but no comp. No bent

I have run into this before . Volvo wants you to buy a special tool to properly set these cam's in time since the cam-drive pulleys are oil advanced . That's fine if you have up to $300.00 for the tool . I made 1 for under $20.00 . Here's How - Buy a 2in. by 7in. by 1/4in. piece of flat steel . 1 - Measure & mark 2in from each end (Length wise) . 2 - Measure & mark from the previous marks 3/4 in. towards center (Width Wise) . 3 - cut out space between marks (Finished product will look like a flat horse-shoe) . 4 - Put (flat horse-shoe) in a vise length wise (TABS UP) . 5 - bend each tab 1/8in.out from straight in line oposite directions (When done if you look straight down the lenght of the tool the tabs will make it apear the 1/4in piece of metal twice as thick)(1/2in.) 6 - Pull valve cover and look at the fire-wall side of the cam-shafts 1 side will be small half moon up(slots in cam will give the apearence of a small & large half moon) 1 small up and the other cam small half moon down . 7 - slightly turn the cams left or right to be able to fit tool in slots . 8 - With tool in place re-install cam-drive belt w/# 1 piston at TDC . 9 - adjust tensioner with very little tension against belt ( grab belt w/ tensioner tight above and below tensioner you should only be able to twist belt no more tha 1/2in. either way ) Bolt her down put her back together ( remove tool ) put valve cover back on & fire it up . GOOD LUCK!!! hope this helps you out .

SOURCE: timming belt broke on 92 accord,set cranke to tdc

Here is what I do know. If your Accord has the 2.2 Ltr engine, it is an interference engine, and you may be right, you could have bent valves, bad cam, ect.
Otherwise I am giving you a link to check out.
Please let me know if this was helpful.

86 nissan 4×4 3.0. V6 distributor set with number 1 tdc but timing marks on pulley are about 180 degrees off engine starts and runs

Which pulley is 180 degrees out? Crank or Cam?
The Crank shaft turns twice for every one turn of the camshaft so you could have positioned it halfway through the 4 stroke cycle so you are not at tdc on number 1.
If it is the Cam pulleys that are out of position try this...
Using a socket and ratchet, By Hand turn the CRANK Pulley CLOCKWISE One full rotation. This should bring the timing marks into the right position.

Can the Compression in a Chevy S10 2.2L 4 cylinder read zero on all four cylinders if the timing chain timing is off?

yes
to get compression the valves have to be closed when the piston is coming up on the compression stroke
If you have the crank out 180 degrees to the cam shaft, then at least one valve will be open on all pistons
The timing marks on the crank sprocket and the cam gear have to close to each other and in line with no 1 piston on tdc

Firing order for rocam1.6

A six cylinder in-line engine has a power impulse every 720 degrees/6 i.e. 120 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The crankshaft has six crank-throws placed at 120 degrees out of phase with one another, which can be arranged only in three planes. Therefore, the crankpin phasing is arranged in pairs. For heavy-duty diesel engines, seven journals and bearings are provided, at each end and between adjacent crankpins. For petrol engines only 4 or 5 main journals are provided. The firing order with the crankshaft arrangement shown in the attached figure is considered. With piston 1 at the top of the compression stroke, its opposite piston 6 is at the top of its exhaust stroke. Rotation of crankshaft through 120 degrees brings pistons 2 and 5 to their TDC and either one of these can be arrangement to complete a compression stroke. If piston 5 is arranged to be at the end of compression and at the start of its power stroke, then piston 2 must be on its exhaust stroke. Rotation of crankshaft through second 120 degrees positions pistons 3 and 4 at the TDC, so either one of these can be on the compression stroke. If piston 3 is made to be on compression, piston 4 must be on its exhaust stroke. A third rotation of 120 degrees brings pistons 1 and 6 back again to TDC, where piston 6 is arranged to be on the compression and piston 1, therefore, be on its exhaust stroke. A fourth 120 degrees rotation brings pistons 2 and 5 to their TDC. Piston 2 is now on its compression and piston 5 on its exhaust stroke. Rotation of crankshaft through fifth 120 degrees brings piston 3 and 4 to TDC. Piston 4 is on compression and piston 3 on its exhaust stroke. Final rotation of 120 degrees completes the 720 degrees displacement of crankshaft and brings the pistons into positions for the next cycle. This cycle provides a firing order of 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4. If the phasing of paired crank-throws 3 and 4 and 2 and 5 are interchanged, then a second equally suitable firing-order of 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 5 is achieved. This arrangement provides excellent dynamic balance and evenness of torque, and is preferred for engines larger than 2.5 liters provided length is not a prime consideration.

The balancer is on zero, #1 piston is all the way up. The distributor is 180 degrees at the #1 piston. Sometimes it will crank over and other times it will just click like the battery is dead.

Cranking the starter is a bad connection. Ground or positive cables and wires, Check them first. Second, is if #1 piston is on the compression stroke at top dead center, balance at 0, the rotor button should be at the # 1 spot on the distributor. Not 180 degrees off.

Cams wont turn after replacing headgasket

you need to start over with the timing process the valves are hitting the pistons because the cams are not in time rotate the pistons off tdc by about 90 degrees counterclockwise and reset the cams then turn the engine to tdc and put it together rotate by hand after installation to be sure it turns freely 2 full revolutions of the crank and all the marks should line back up

I have a 95 dodge ram 1500 318 just did a rebuild on the motor and i am am having problems timing it I have put it in timing but it seems it keeps getting out of timing.. it have a new timing chain and...

Number one piston all the way up. Your crank pully should line up "zero" or TDC with the line on the pulley.
The rotor should be pointing to the #1 spot on the distributor cap. (If it's off, it will be facing 180 degrees off, then turn the crank one revolution.) If this doesnt jive, your distributor may be off a tooth.
Also, ...are you sure the cam was positioned correctly? (With the crank pulley at the TDC mark, the dot on the lower gear straight up, and the cam gear mark straight up.)

On my 1991 mercury capri turbo 1.6 put new timing belt on still wont start my question is. does it matter which way the cams go other than lining the timing marks up

The cams make 2 complete rotations for every 1 rotation of the crank so you could be out of time by 180 degrees.With the valve cover off turn the engine over by hand. As #1 piston comes up on TDC the intake valves should be open and starting to close. As you go past TDC the exhaust valves should start to open. If this is not what is happening in this order then your timing is off. Your engine should be at TDC when the timing marks are lined up with the marker on the engine. Hope this helps.

Did intake gaskets now truck turns over but will not start it's a 2000 chevy V6 4.3L vortec , I think it's a timing problem . started out on #1 TDC then whent 180 deg still no good

Pull out the # 1 spark plug. (Front left or drivers side) Rotate the engine by hand on the crank shaft pulley bolt with a socket, making sure you turn it the direction that the engine rotates. With your finger in the spark plug hole, you will feel compression pushing your finger out, then you want to stop turning as the number one piston reaches the top. You are now on T.D.C.
Your rotor should be pointing at the number one spark plug.

My 1992 mazda mx3 is 180 degrees out of time. my camshaft and crank are both at 12oclock position and my distributor is in right can harmonic balancer be on wrong?

No. The crankshaft turns 2 times for every one turn of the camshaft. You need to watch the valves as you turn the engine over. As you near TDC the intake will be open and start to close. As you move past TDC the intake is closed and the exhaust starts to open. When the valves open and close in this order that is the correct TDC to line your distributor up with.
You will have to remove the timing belt to fix this. Simply rotate the camahaft another full turn watching as it does and you should be right. HOWEVER, if you have a zero tolerance or interference engine you will have to remove the head before you can fix this. If you don't then you will bend valves even turning it by hand. Hope this helps.

After timing belt failure/head swap, how to tell a 94, 1.9L is at TDC? Marks on flywheel at tdc, pump timed with pin tooling, aside from cam lobes #1 both "up", I'm lost. Turn over by hand but valve...

I'd be careful as you know that is a zero clearance engine. Pull #1 spark plug after you get everything lined back up. Make sure it's all the way up and on the compression stroke. With #1 cam lobe up the valve should be closed and seated in the head. #1 piston should not be interfering with the valve lash. Mark the belt, cam gears, and crank clearly. This way when you pull the belt off, you can line the marks back up at any time and you won't lose any ground. What you can do is to pull the plugs and watch the cam lobes. If you have one going down, and a piston coming up...bingo that's your problem cylinder. Here's a tip from an old timer. Make sure the block timing isn't 180 degrees out. After you mark the belt and gears. Remove the belt and spin the crank 180. This will let you move the cam to close the valve on the problem cylinder while doing it. What you're experiencing is a timing issue. Figure out what that is and then line everything back up and you'll be back on the salt flats in no time. I'd be willing to bet that something is 180 degrees out no more tear down involved, just proper alignment.
