Nick--Triumph Repair Manuals show how to do find TDC properly, and if you're building a killer engine and need to know exactly where it is, it's best to follow the proceedure. IF all you want to do i

There is a way to do it with no teardown. 1. Remove all the spark plugs 2. Insert a 3-4" bolt with the same threads as the spark plug into the #1 cylinder 3. Rotate the crank clockwise until the bol

Take out the #1 spark plug. Put the car in 4th gear and have a buddy push the car back and forth. Using a flashlight, look in the spark plug hole. It's not science, but it's close ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Vance, this sounds like a great technique. However, I have a couple of questions that perhaps you or someone else on the list can answer... 1. What part of the crank is the bolt contacting in thi

The bolt threads into the spark plug hole, hence it contacts the piston on its upward stroke (no direct contact with the crank). The crank is symmetrical. The center point of the con rods, where the

The bolt is contacting the top of the piston. It contacts the same point on the piston in both directions, so yes, it is symmetrical. Vance Hi Vance, this sounds like a great technique. However, I h
