Installing a new timing set, dots are crank gear at 12 and the cam at 6, I notice that these seems to put the engine at TDC every time (on the #1 piston ) and Im assuming its on compression stroke, ( since both valves are closed ) am I correct?
with the dots at 12/6, #1 and #6 pistons will be at TDC (or close enough for this discussion) but #1 is on overlap (valves open) & #6 is on compression, valves closed (ready to fire). Back up the dampener a bit to ~18 BTDC & line up the magnet with a reluctor tooth (rotating the housing) so that the rotor is under the #6 cap plug wire terminal & you're all set on that part.
