I don't know if this is like your timing mark. If not, post a picture of yours and we can see if we can show you where it's at on yours.

Also when setting the timing, after adjusting it and tightening the distributor, remove the timing tool BEFORE shutting the engine off.

Volvo has it wrong in the manual. http://forums.iboats.com/volvo-pent...drives/volvo-est-timing-procedure-271407.html

It's on the wrong side of the engine, the pulley is so rusty you won't have a belt more than an hour (if that long) and it amazes me the timing cover and oil pan don't leak.

Hello

an explication, the water pump above leaked ( change since) but too late...so pulley and timing mark is very rusty, the cover is ok and don't leak, i think i must change it with the pulley but it's not easy to do...:blue:

Thank for your help

There are a lot of images of different Volvo Penta timing markers on the internet, but most aren't clearly labeled for their specific engine.

The image below is specifically from my 2002 Volvo Penta 3.0 GSP-C. The plate was very rusted, so I used a steel brush to clean it up and then sprayed silver paint to bring out the numbers.




I don't have the shunt to set the timing, so I rigged my own as shown below.

Pins numbered left to right - 1-4.
Pin 1 - Don't use
Pin 2 - Be very careful here! I used a 12" wire with an insulated connector on one end and an alligator clip on the other.
Pin 3 & 4 Makeshift jumper using standard female spade quick disconnect. I used a screw to get a good hold on it for easy on & off.

Hi there relay1234567, welcome to iboats!

Thanks for taking the time to help add additional information of how to go about creating your own style shunt to help others out...Unfortunately your images didn't turn-out probably due to being a new member as you may not have enough post count numbers to post photos just yet...But the effort is still most appreciated.:encouragement:
