I've been reading all sorts of threads regarding the dead stop method for finding true TDC.
So I decided to fab up a stop tool with an old sparkplug, an M8 hex, some JB weld and my trusy dremel. I then made myself a protractor and proceeded to check the flywheel.
Well, rotating counter clockwise my mark was at 11 degrees, rotating clockwise my mark was 21 degrees. 11 + 21 = 32/2 = 16 I advanced the mark 5 degrees 8O, re-did the process and sure enough, each direction is 16 degrees....
Now, I need to get a hold of a timing light...
EDIT: My numbers were not correct, original 14 changed to 11, 26 changed to 21...
Also, listed my procedure below.
1) Placed protractor and pointer.
2) Aligned the 0 degree mark with original mark, (right side).
3) Rotated anti-clockwise and read 11 degrees.
4) Rotated clockwise and read 21 degrees.
5) 11 + 21 = 32, 32/2 = 16.
6) Rotate protractor so both directions = 16 degrees.
7) The view from clockwise is, 21 - 5 = 16, therefore my new mark is 5 degrees advanced from the original timing mark.
Rotate protractor 5 degrees advanced, check each direction for 16 degrees.
Hope I did it properly, if not please advise me of my mistake.
