When I have set the timing previously it has always been on a running engine where the setting has been in the right ballpark. The instuction CD only describes something like this, or tells me how to reinstall a distributor, trying to mark it up before removing.

My fear is to start up the new engine only to trash it because it turns the wrong way around or something.

Please advise

Thanks

Have you tried a forum search? The archive has a wealth of information.

Welcome, to take advantage of all the forum features, please re visit the 'Welcome to the Forum' tutorial sticky on top of the W126 page, as well as the two DIY stickies.
It will show how to search the forum (3 words min.), and has a link to the Russian MB site where you can run a VIN#.
Cheers
