timing on a 2.8 need some info
on the timing on a 2.8 i know it is 10 deg before tdc on compression stroke...and i know fire order is 123456....my question is will the car still idle if it is 180 deg off..other words on opp stroke because you will have 2 tdc won't you.compression and exuast

You won't get the engine started if it's 180 off... the engine will be too busy backfiring to run properly.
