TRU DEAD CENTRE - TDC
Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 3:10 pm
I have removed my cylinder head to replace the gasket, now I have two cams, a chain and a head and I am not sure how I can make sure they are all aligned to the TDC.
On the end of the crank there is a small locating lug for the timing and on the cams there are two cut-outs, I suspect that these are used to line up the tdc, but I am not sure if they should all be at the top or what? There is also a drilled mark on the generator flywheel, which if I put to the top, means that the two centre pistons are at the bottom and the outer ones at the top.
I have not messed with the valves or rockers. I can hand turn the crank using the genny.
many thanks
