(but there has to be a window of sorts as a reference point.)

I may be saying the wrong name it may not be a sproket it may be a chain gear. Hah sorry. My bud is doing the work and I"m just assisting and asking questions.

Post by: greenmachine on December 01, 2006, 12:06:02 PM Use a popsicle stick or an unsharpened pencil , remove the plug, stick it in the center of the hole, rotate the crankshaft very slowly. When it hits TDC the pencil will go up & immediately start going down, the highest point is TDC.
