1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSTALLATION
1. CHECK NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
If necessary, remove the cylinder head cover, and check these
conditions:
Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with
the timing mark ”0” of the timing chain cover.
Verify that the timing marks with 1 and 2 dots are in
straight line on the cylinder head surface as shown
in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the mark
as above.
2. INSTALL DISTRIBUTOR
(a) Install a new O−ring to the distributor.
HINT:
Always use a new O −ring when installing the distributor.
(b) Align the groove of the distributor housing with the protru-
sion on the driven gear.
(c) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the O −ring.
(d) Insert the distributor, aligning the center of the flange with
that of the bolt hole on the cylinder head.
(e) Lightly tighten the hold −down bolt.
3. INSTALL DISTRIBUTOR CAP
4. CONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
5. CHECK IGNITION TIMING (See page EM−10)
