Hi all, i have to replace the cylinder head gaskets so need to find TDC on the engine. Which cylinder should be set to TDC? How do I find TDC, which mark on the flywheel is TDC?
Thanks in advance,
Genghis

remove both spark plugs & valve covers, place long phillips screw driver in left spark plug hole & rotate top of engine screen clockwise until piston is at tdc, both rocker arms should be loose, if not rotate engine again 180* to tdc rocker arms should be loose, with engine cold valves can now be adjusted. reference left side as if you are in seat.
