Resetting Timing Mark

[Robert_A_Brady@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Robert A Brady)]

Regarding resetting the crank pully pointer:

1.  If you have a dial indicator, remove the spark plugs, insert it into the 
spark plug hole for cyl. #1, turn the engine by hand while watching the dial, 
when the dial goes to max deflection, that's top dead center.  Reattach the 
pointer so it aligns with the pully mark.

2.  If you don't have a dial indicator, insert a screwdriver down the spark 
plug hole.  While turning the engine, you can feel the piston rise, and then 
fall.  You will notice that the crank can be turned a bit when the piston is 
at it's top point. Align the timing mark to the middle of that "dead zone."
