Question about stripping the block: I have my A4 major assemblies apart and am about to remove the Cam, Crank, Tappets, etc. prep for taking to my machinist for cleaning and surfacing the block and head faces.
I'm concerned about reassembling correctly. In the Moyer manual, page P5-3 mentions aligning the timing mark of the big cam gear and the small crank gear. There are two ways to align those - 1) same "position on the clock face", or 2) right next to each other tooth-to-tooth. Which should be the TDC position once I start reinstalling everything? When the Marks are closest tooth-to-tooth the #1 cylinder is top, but the rotor points toward the engine (pos for cyl #4); When I rotate 180 degrees the rotor points away from the engine at plug for Cyl #1 which is again at the top. But at that position the timing marks are opposite each other (in the same relative position as time on a clock face).
The manual is unclear what they mean by "lines up" - Which is correct? Thanks in advance - DaveL
