Setting Tdc (Top-Dead-Center) - Taylor-Dunn G0-010-00 Service And Replacement Parts Manual

SETTING TDC (TOP-DEAD-CENTER)

There are three ways to ensure the piston is at TDC.
Remove the outer clutch cover to access the drive clutch
to aid in engine rotation (manually turn the drive clutch
counter clockwise).
1. With the CPS sensor removed, rotate the engine
until the "V" marked on the flywheel is aligned with
the CPS mounting hole. This will set TDC, but not
necessarily TDC of the compression stroke. View
the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket to ensure
the engine is at TDC of the compression stroke.
2. With the valve cover and thermostat housing
removed, rotate the engine so the cam sprocket
timing marks are aligned with the gasket surface as
shown. This will set TDC of the compression stroke.
NOTE
cam sprocket should have marks aligned with gasket
surface.
3. With the stator cover and flywheel removed, rotate
the engine and position the piston at TDC by aligning
the timing hole in crank case with a timing hole in the
crankshaft.

compression stroke. View the timing marks on the
cam shaft sprockets to ensure the engine is at TDC
of the compression stroke.
