I sure hope so, Woodie!
greasemonkey, please refresh yourself as to the thread title.......
"number one on chrysler marine 318" .
By post #5, Pete, Woodieman and myself had answered the OP's question.
There is further explanation in post #6, and agian later in the thread.
It would appear to me that the #1 cylinder identification has been addresses...... not once, but multiple times in this thread.
Post #4, you asked if we could get on the same page, as you apparently had a disagreement.
When we disagree, the person in disagreement usually provides information that supports the disagreement.
You have not done so.... at least not with sufficient images, etc!
- Okay, I did little a reseach a per Ricks request and came up with this....................http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/showthread.php?383094-Chrysler-360-engine-specs-timing In this thread you will see that .....................
- Rick has never owned a chrysler nor does he have much knowledge on there ignition timing specs.........from what HE says
- This is a classic TAT post by Ricky Ricardo in where he talks about mercruisers and stuff in the chrysler forum
- Grease on the other hand has 2 318s in the boat and parts motor which is a 72 block(marine)
1. May I assume that you are referring to post #7 in that thread? If so, this revealed nothing to do with the original topic of this thread (#1 cylinder location). Keep in mind that no specs were suggested by me in post #7, as I always suggest that the owner see his OEM specs
as any of us should be doing, unless we know the precise engine build.
2. You are correct in that I have not owned a Chrysler powered boat. However, I do occasionally work on Chrysler powered boats! I have also owned the 318 and 360 over the years.... (five total I believe)....... not Marine, but auto.
3. Do you not agree that the Ford/Chevy/Chrysler Marine Engines all have similarities that may cross over? Not necessarily "specs", per se', but basics?
Do you not agree that TA or TAT is equally important for a Ford Marine as it would be for a Chrysler or Chevy?
And furthermore, how does any of this intrinsically disqualify me from the statement in post #7 re; Marine Ignition timing basics?
Perhaps you can explain this also!
4. Then please share your knowledge and source for locating #1 cylinder on a 318 Chrysler Marine Engine.... but do so with the aid of some good images, etc!
Sorry to hear about your "locked up 318"...., but as an owner of twin marine 318's, we should be well experienced with regard to certain aspects of this engine, and perhaps not take the advice from a non-mechanic type person.
All sarcasm aside, why don't you either provide sufficient data that shows that the above images are incorrect (re; #1 cylinder), or simply agree that they are correct?
You wanted to be on the "same page".... Yes/No?
