r1lark Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 On the Studebaker Avanti R1 & R2 engines, when the marked teeth on the crankshaft gear and camshaft gear are properly aligned, the #6 cylinder is in the firing position……..True or False?

mfg Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 That's a good question!....I'm going to say TRUE!............. (although I'm actually inclined to think # 1 cylinder would be in firing position) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Ed thinks this is true. Any other thoughts here? Edited December 27, 2017 by r1lark spellin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 As Ed would say..........are we all done here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Answer is.................TRUE! Good job Ed. The Shop Manual is very clear on this, and I can attest that it's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Thanks!...I was wondering about that, so just yesterday I located a Stude V8 camshaft with gear still installed in my used parts stock.....I pointed the "0" on the cam gear straight down as if it were lined up with the "0-0" on the crank gear.....then counted the lobes back to cylinder #6 and saw that both valves on #6 would have been closed, and that cylinder (#6) would be firing.
