The firing order is 1-4-3-2. Opposite (180 deg) from TDC #1 would be TDC #3. If it's pointing to #4 then this had better be TDC #4. I had to think about this for a bit, but, yes, TDC #1 (compression) would be the same as TDC #3 (exhaust) and vice versa. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
