Is there a way to determine tdc on a 225 -6 without removing the head..........I had a bent push rod, i pulled em all and replaced, not sure about the adjusting screws how far out the rest are, there is slop though........ is there an easy way out or should i just break my back pulling that head,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Or is there a safe clearence to start at and then bring em in while running???? So confused..

pull spark plug out on #1, turn engine by hand in direction of engine rotation, moving mark on balancer toward 0 degree mark on timing pointer.with the spark plug out you can use something like that bent pushrod to watch the piston coming up. as your turning the engine by hand and the mark hits 0, the rod should stop moving, that's TDC. If you have a soild lifter cam then there is a cold lash setting and a hot lash setting. initial setting of .020" will probably get you close enough to start it.

Plodge...... Thank You Very Much.. I actually got it yestarday, Almost sending this thing out to a performance shop.... Unfortunatly there is no turning this thing by hand, (even with all the plugs out) there is no crank bolt.. After talking with numerous people, reading till my eyes bled...lol

Tand L engines... in North Carolina told me to look up there video...30 mins after the video, the job was done! Rushing and excited I almost sacrificed my starter bumping this thing..Doing it while it's hot is the way to go... after 20mins it took to put it all together we were driving!!!!!!!!!!!! It purrs like a lil kitty..........Im not sure why it so hard to turn by hand... all the cylinder walls are clen not scored......I encourage everyone to check out this video!!!! It is so simple a task,,,, Just give your starter a chance to cool every few bumps!!!!!!

I thank you for your response!!!!! (PROBLEM SOLVED)
