So I guess that the top of the exhaust stroke is TDC.? Just trying to verify if anyone knows.
apparently you dont read

any time the piston reaches the highest point in the cylider .. its at TDC top dead center... it has nothing to do with the valves

rotate the motor and align the crank marker to 0... if you have a valve cover off, make sore one of the valves is open
Yes....but he needs to make sure #1 is @compression to install the dizzy pointing to #1.......

I have fixed the dizzy and now I need to put it back in.
yea, my bad.. i edited a previous post and deleted that becuase i got confused...

TY, positive it is the compression stroke?

Anyone know what size socket the crank shaft is? I dont have one that size. All mine are too big or too small. So I am going to have to go and get one. [>:]

PS: I also found somewhere else where they say it is the compression stroke. TY
