Re: need a little help with locating tdc

You have me confused as to what you are trying to do. You said you put the chain on...but you are trying to find TDC...you have to find TDC and get the timing right BEFORE putting the chain on...so if you slipped you have to bring the cam and crank to proper positions before putting a new chain on, right?

You won't hurt it with incorrect valve timing, it won't crunch like some motors...but it won't run either.

Are you using a manual that tells what reference marks you are looking for on the gears?
