the motor is going back together in a day or so. but just to make sure im right here. TDC is top dead center, which is where i want to put everything back at. but i know in order to find the TDC when the motor is together look at the flywheel and check the valves to make sure they are not engaged at all. but since i ahd everything apart and the motor was spun a few times and so on. i can still just put it back to TDC and put it back together. cuase it seamed like the piston was at the same hieght each rotation when on TDC. im almost sure im right, but figured , better safe than sorry and out of alot of money, THANKS

just align the "T" mark and you will be at top dead center. make sure cam lobes are facing down. also, put the cam sprocket on according to the manual. 2 of the marks on it align with the head and the other one faces UP.
