Subject:I-4 conversion timing problem
From:Kitzmann

Ran into a small problem the other day when I realized that I can't check
my ignition timing by looking at the timing marks on the flywheel.  The
diesel bellhousing is located 30 degrees or so from where it is on the golf
bellhousing and does the diesel flywheel even have timing marks?!  So my
connumdrum is what is the easiest way of checking the timing?   I never
checked it when I put the engine in because at that point it ran fine, but
now that it is getting pretty hot outside the van seems to have developed a
hesitation on takeoff.  So everyone knows it is a 1.8L Cis-e 10:1
compresson engine from a Golf GT.

Thanks,
Dave K.
