Put the balancer on the engine.
Pull #1 spark plug. Stick finger in #1 spark plug hole. Have bro turn engine with long handled breaker bar, and a socket on the snout bolt. Wait till it come up to compression stroke. See if the ZERO on the balancer kinda aligns with rod on your timing chain cover. And look in the spark plug hole or stick a plastic straw in the spark plug hole till ya have a sense if the piston is at TDC on compression stroke. Then pull cap.. Wherever the rotor is pointed... that is number 1 |
