Firing Order for 87
A little confused by the description in Waynes book so I just want to confirm the firing order
1-6-2-4-3-5 on an 87 3.3 turbo, (note the book says its different for various years) and the distributer therefore moves counter clockwise? thanks in advance |
I thought the firing order was the same for all years?
The distributor turns "backwards" (CCW) on an SC compared to all the other motors. -Chris |
The distributors turn Counter Clock Wise for 911SCs 78 to 83 and 930 3.3 turbo from 78 to 89.
The firing order is the same for all 911 based engines. 1-6-2-4-3-5 |
Thanks for the clarification Henry.
|
Right - firing order is the same, distributor turns, and is wired, backwards...

What does Wayne mean by 'wired backwards?' |

Well, the firing order is 1-6-2-4-3-5. Cylinder number one will always be the one nearest the notch, and cylinder number 4 will always be 180 degrees oposite from it. However, one will go 1-6-2-4-3-5 and other will go 1-5-3-4-2-6. Clockwise vs. counter-clockwise, or backwards. I explain this on page 190. -Wayne |
Thanks Wayne. I'll check my book.
|
NO, it will stil go 1-6-2-4-3-5 as the spark plug wires are installed in that position, any other firing order would require new cams.

You guys are both right, just not very clear. I'll give it a try.
On 78-83 911 SCs & 78-89 930 the ditr. turns counter clock wise (ccw). This means you start at the number one plug wire, generally marked on the dist. with a small line and go ccw 1-6-2-4-3-5. On all other Porsche 911 dist. you start at the number one plug and go clock wise 1-6-2-4-3-5. I hope this clears things up. |
See the book - a picture is worth a thousand words...

ouch!

Counter clockwise, clockwise,,
im working out firing on a 1977 930, with the above info does this mean that a 77 is clockwise from number one?? can of worms here :) |

BTW for this reason all camshafts can be used in principle for each engine... |
Robbbyg,
Just turn the engine over by hand and see which way the rotor turns. -Andy |
A 77 930 turns clockwise
|
Anyone know why they did this? CW for some CCW for others? I only ask because I'm a collector of random facts ;)
