Hey there,

Just doing a valve adjustment on my AP1. I was manually rotating the crank for each cylinder and I accidentally rotated it counter clockwise slightly (not even a 1/4 turn). Will that throw the timing out or cause any other adverse affects.

I’m super paranoid now…

thanks!

 

I think that as long as the timing chain is connected and not slipping, you'll be cool.

 

I agree as long as you do not have a Rotrex supercharger in the loop. They do not like backward rotation.

 

No issue.

If there were any problems I'd expect a WARNING or CAUTION notation in the Service Manual. There are none regarding this nor would I expect any as the direction of manual rotation when setting the valves to TDC is not specified -- just notes to set it.

No harm done.

 

Thanks for the reassurance everyone!
