You don't and you can't. Just use the timing mark on the balancer and timing tab/ pointer. Line those 2 up with the # 1 pistion all the way up at the top of the cylinder on the compression stroke. If you are installing a timing chain and gears, just line up the dots on the crank gear and timing gear stright over top of each other. Crank gear will be at 12 Oclock and the cam gear dot will be at 6Oclock. You can't use the fly-wheel because it does not have any marks on it.

Where is tdc mark on 3.0 ohv vulcan engine?

On the Harmonic balancer there are several marks on the right the marks start at 30* BTC (Before top dead center) Going left the marks stop at 0* (TDC) you need to line this up with a mark that is just to the right of the crankshaft position sensor. One you line up the 0* mark with the mark you will have TDC. NOTE: There are two TDC one is the power stroke and one is the compression stroke most specs require you to be on TDC compression

Port timing diagram for two stroke diesel engine?

PORT TIMING DIAGRAM FOR 2S ENGINE Aim : To draw the port timing diagram of given two stroke cycle petrol engine . Apparatus Required : 1. Two stroke petrol engine 2. Measuring tape 3. Chalk Theory and Description : In the case of two stroke cycle engines the inlet and exhaust valves are not present . Instead , the slots are cut on the cylinder itself at different elevation and they are called ports. There are three ports are present in the two stroke cycle engine . 1. Inlet port 2. Transfer port 3. Exhaust port The diagram which shows the position of crank at which the above ports are open and close are called as port timing diagram. The extreme position of the piston at the bottom of the cylinder is called " Bottom Dead centre " [BDC] . The extreme position of the piston at the top of the cylinder is called "TOP dead centre " [TDC ] In two stroke petrol engine the inlet port open when the piston moves from BDC to TDC and is closed when the piston moves from TDC to BDC . The transfer port is opened when the piston is moved from TDC to BDC and the fuel enters into the cylinder through this transport from the crank case of the engine . The transfer port is closed when piston moves from BDC to TDC . The transfer port opening and closing are measured with respect to the BDC . The exhaust port is opened , when the piston moves from TDC to BDC and is closed when piston moves from BDC to TDC . The exhaust port opening and closing are measured with respect to the BDC. Procedure : 1. Remove the ports cover and identify the three ports . 2. Mark the TDC and BDC position of the fly wheel . To mark this position follow the same procedure as followed in valve timing diagram . 3. Rotate the flywheel slowly in usual direction (usually clockwise ) and observe the movement of the piston 4. When the piston moves from BDC to TDC observe when the bottom edge of the piston . Just uncover the bottom end of the inlet port . This is the inlet port opening (IPO) condition , make the mark on the flywheel and measure the distance from TDC 5. When piston moves from TDC to BDC observe when the bottom edge of the piston completely covers the inlet port . This is the inlet port closing (IPC) condition . Make the mark on the flywheel and measure the distance from TDC . 6. When the piston moves from TDC to BDC , observe , when the top edge of the piston just uncover the exhaust port . This is the exhaust port opening [EPO] condition . Make the mark on the flywheel and measure the distance from BDC . 7. When the piston moves from BDC to TDC , observe , when the piston completely cover the exhaust port ,. This is the exhaust port closing condition [EPC] . Make the mark on the flywheel and measure the distance from BDC . 8. When the piston moves from TDC to BDC observe, when the top edge of the piston just uncover the transfer port . This is the transfer port opening [TPO] condition . Make the mark on the flywheel and measure the distance from BDC 9. When the piston moves from BDC to TDC , observe , when the piston completely covers the transfer port. This is the transfer port closing [TPC] condition . Make the mark on the flywheel and measure the distance from BDC . Note : 1. The inlet port opening distance and closing distance from TDC are equal . 2. The exhaust port opening distance and closing distance from BDC are equal . 3. The transfer port opening distance and closing distance from BDC are equal . Result : The port timing diagram for the given two stroke cycle petrol engine was drawn.

Hargun, if your reading this, you suck.


Where is the timing mark on the vauxhall frontera estate 2.3 turbo diesal?

take rocker cover off first.then turn crank clockwise untill the dot on the cam is at the top,then look at the flywheel from under the jeep at the bellhousing and u should see the tdc mark if so its timed up to number one compression stoke


What mark is tdc on the crank pulley on a 2003 Nissan truck 3.3L?

If you were holding the pulley in your hand the degree marks would be from left to right 1st mark being 0 degrees or TDC then 2nd mark being 5 degrees and so on

If the timing mark is at tdc will the number one cylinder always be on the compression stroke in a 79 Chevy 350?

No. When the timing mark is at tdc, #'s 1 & 6 are both up. One is up for compression, the other is up for exhaust.
