Engine timing
To set number 1 cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke Operation 8-1
1 Remove the rocker cover, see Operation 3-1.
2 Slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise, from the front, until the timing mark on the pulley / damper assembly
aligns with the pointer on the timing case.
3 Check that the push rods of number 1 cylinder are free to rotate. Number 1 piston is now at TDC on the
compression stroke.
Note: If the push rods are not free to rotate, this indicates that number 1 cylinder is on the exhaust stroke.
Rotate the crankshaft one turn and align the timing marks.
