If there is no mark on crankshaft pulley, remove the starter motor and find two punch marks on flywheel housing in starter orifice, these will mate with 2 marks on flywheel at TDC. After s/n 36151 there is a flywheel inspection cover on the ignition side of the engine, when cover is removed a TDC mark and single degree line can be lined up against a pointer exposed in the inspection hole; note inlet valve opens, ie tappet clearance is taken up, at TDC. -------------------------------------------------------- This post was edited by PackardV8 at 12:32:44 10/30/12.

I just looked it up in the Service manual because when I read this bells started to ring in my head...John(UK) [Reply]  [No Email]
