Hello Welcome to a tech short from Mart's Garage. This method of finding TDC will work for any engine. Just rig up a pointer and a stop over No.1 piston. You need to stop the piston around 1/4" down the bore. I hope you find this useful. This is a follow up to a similar video I made. In that one I show how to make a simple pointer and some techniques relevant to the Ford Flathead. This time around I realised it could be a lot easier than I had thought. Watch as I find this out for myself.
Cheers!
Mart.
