Introduction
This procedure covers finding the compression stroke of the number 1 cylinder on
these engines. The No. 1 piston at Top Center (TC) on the compression stroke is
the starting point of all timing procedures.

Test Procedure
Note: Some engines have two threaded holes in the flywheel. These holes are in
alignment with the holes with plugs in the left and right front of the flywheel
housing. The two holes in the flywheel are at a different distance from the center
of the flywheel. Therefore, the timing bolt cannot be put in the wrong hole.

1. Timing bolt (1) is a cover bolt. The timing bolt can be installed in either the
left side at location (2) or in the right side of the engine at location (2).
Remove both bolts (1) and cover (3) from the flywheel housing. Remove the
plug from the timing hole in the flywheel housing.

2. Put timing bolt (1) (long bolt that holds the cover on the flywheel housing)
through the timing hole in the flywheel housing. The 9S-9082 Engine
Turning Tool and a 1/2 inch drive ratchet wrench are used to turn the engine
flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation. Normal engine rotation is
counterclockwise. Normal engine rotation is viewed from the flywheel end of

the engine. Turn the engine flywheel until the timing bolt engages with the
threaded hole in the flywheel.

Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel
must be turned in the opposite direction of normal engine rotation
approximately 45 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal
rotation until the timing bolt engages with the threaded hole. The procedure
will eliminate the backlash that will occur when the No. 1 piston is put on the
top center.
3. Remove the front valve mechanism cover from the engine.

4. The valves for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed if the is on the compression
stroke and the rocker arms can move by hand. The No. 1 piston is on the
exhaust stroke, if the rocker arms cannot be moved and the valves are
slightly open .

Note: After the actual stroke position is identified, and the other stroke position is
needed, remove the timing bolt from the flywheel. The flywheel is turned 360
degrees in a counterclockwise direction. The timing bolt is reinstalled.
