Title: TDC
Post by PipJones on 04/21/10 at 13:31:58

prob one of the most simple things to master but i don't know what i'm looking for. Seeing that i work in the AUTOMOTIVE industry and the cars that i fix at the local steelership dont require to be put at TDC to do any valve/timing work.... i'm not fimiliar with what i'm looking for. I realize TCD is when compression is at its peek where both the intake and exhaust valves aren't under pressure...

BUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT

are there markings on any of the gears pointing to "in time"????

If there are, what are they and wehre are they? (I don't have a manule so i'm doing this by logic and brain power.

Any help wouuld be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get up and riding this weekend and i need to replace my timing chain.

Lazy man's way of finding TDC on the compression stroke:
