Hombre S Space Cab 2WD V6-4.3L (2000)
IMPORTANT: Rotate the number (1) cylinder to top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke. The engine front cover has 2 alignment tabs and
the crankshaft balancer has 2 alignment marks (spaced 90 degrees apart) which are used for positioning number 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). With
the piston on the compression stroke and at top dead center, the crankshaft balancer alignment mark (1) must align with the engine front cover tab (2)
and the crankshaft balancer alignment mark (4) must align with the engine front cover tab (3).
1. Rotate the crankshaft balancer clockwise until the alignment marks on the crankshaft balancer are aligned with the tabs on the engine front cover
and the number (1) piston is at top dead center of the compression stroke.
2. Align white paint mark on the bottom stem of the distributor, and the pre-drilled indent hole in the bottom of the gear (3).
3. With the gear in this position, the rotor segment should be positioned as shown for a V6 engine (1) or V8 engine (2).
