To illustrate, let's say the the #1 piston is at TDC on the compression stroke. The head is removed, the camshaft is rotated 180 degrees, then the head is reinstalled. The #1 piston is now at TDC on the exhaust stroke. Valve timing is correct. The injection timing is 180 degrees retarded.



Sure about that?

Go put an intrusion engine on tdc, and set the cam 180 off, then crank it, you tell me what will happen

And yeah, I am sure about that, seeing as though I have been specializing in Benz for the last 15 years
