fifty9singlecab Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Beside "I think" my engine number there is a rubber plug and when you remove it you can see down in there and it looks like the flywheel. All the cars that I see listing engine numbers this plug is missing. Has it been taken off for a reason or is it just missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifty9singlecab Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yes, I guess you are right. Its going to be in the transmission. Under the distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 that plug is so you can see the timing marks. rather on B series the main pully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 My A20A1 had the same plug. The previous response is correct; the plug is to see the timing markings on your flywheel. You take your timing light and point it into the hole and then make the appropriate adjustments if necessary. I put my plug back to keep dust out of the flywheel/clutch area. I cannot think of a reason to leave it off, even if constantly advancing or retarding the timing, that's just me. Sometimes I feel like I am the Monk of self-taught mechanics. It bothers me if I see a picture of a motor on the web and the plug is missing. When I lost my A20A1 plug down a drain (working on cars in apartment complex parking lots is hard), I went to Honda and bought a new one. Like I said, that's just me. I also work in 5mil nitrile gloves and keep 5 cans of chlorine-free brake cleaner handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
