96 4L OHV - I'm replacing my CMP to get rid of the squeal. Set engine at TDC and removed the sensor from the drive unit and installed the synchronizer tool on the existing CMP to check the alignment before removing the old CMP. The alignment tool is pointing in the right direction and is rotated approximately 30 degrees clockwise from the engine centerline. My Haynes manual says to install the new drive unit with the alignment tool pointing 60 degrees clockwise from the engine centerline.
My question is do I reintall it as it came out or do I rotate the new one to match what the manual says? Truck was running fine with no codes. CMP has not previously been removed or adjusted.
Don't want to put it all back together and it not be right. What do ya'll think?
Thanks
