I am rebuilding a 1972 Ford 4000,201CID gas. I cannot find any timing marks on this engine. My book says there is a window on the right rear of engine,but there is nothing there. Can anyone shed some light on this or any how to's for timing this thing? I have the flywheel on the bench now and there are no marks on it nor are there any marks on the front pulley.

I cleaned up the flywheel and found the marks on that,but cannot find any sort of opening in the bell housing that you could see these thru with the engine installed. Any information on how to time this puppy would be appreciated.

I have the earlier and later Fords of this size. On my earlier ones (4 cyl) when they say behind they mean behind, but not part of the engine block casting.

If you stand on the right side of the tractor (side with the dist) look at the interface of the transmission housing and engine block. The transmission housing is much larger in diameter (allowing for the flywheel) and on it is a cover held in place with one bolt. The cover is about 1 to 1.5 inches in dia. Loosen the bolt and roll the cover out of the way.

You should be looking at the front side of the flywheel. Pull a spark plug and stick a straw down the hole. Rotate the engine till #1 (nearest the radiator) pushes it all the way up. This is TDC or TDC +/- 180 degrees. You should see scribe marks thru the hole near the outer diameter of the flywheel.

You're there.

I'd assume that the 3 cyl is in the same place. My 3 cyl is a diesel.
