2.4L TDC Q. I’m I on right track here?

-take distributor cap off
-turn crank shaft bolt
-align the mark on inner most pulley (fan clutch/alternator) to the zero mark on the gauge on water pump. This mark on pulley is closer to radiator (on the outside of inner pulley)
-this pulley mark at zero should also match the rotor on distributor to be pointing to #1 cylinder…..let’s say 2 o’clock

Totally off?
Suggestions?

only saw one video after searching…..for a 2.7L

this is in preparation for distributor O-ring replacement
Thanks everyone

 

Ok
How about the firing order
2.4L with distributor

I will use Roadkill screwdriver method to make sure TDC

 

This post provides no context. What exactly are you trying to do?

 

Put 2.4L at TDC for distributor O ring install

 

you can just mark dist, where its at before removal and put it back to the same spot.

 

So pointed to #1cly…..like 2 o’clock or doesn’t matter as long as goes back same way?

 

correct

 

A firm.

 

I'll use a small punch,chisel or paint marker to index the rotor position to the distributor housing and then the dist housing to somewhere on the block
