Hello All!   
       
   RN> Calling all timing experts!   
       
   RN> A neighbor of mine has a 2002 (I think) Chevy with a V-6 engine and he   
   RN> was telling me a few days ago that they did some internal work on the   
   RN> engine and when they put it back in time, the #6 cylinder had to be at   
   RN> TDC or else it wouldn't start.  In my old days of fooling with engines,   
   RN> prior to the V-6, that would not have worked, so I think they had the   
   RN> distributor 180 degrees out (or off, depending on how others phrase   
   RN> this).  Finally, I thought the conputer would take over this setting?   
       
   RN> Anyone who wants to contradict my opinion(s), feel free.  (-:   
       
       
   I looked through all the specs that I have available and did not find any GM   
   V6 engines that time off the #6 plug. I agree that the distributer must have   
   been installed improperly. If it is a distributerless engine the camshaft   
   could have been timed 180 degrees out.
