sirpedrosa: I looked at your thread and was wowed by the job you did. The pictures were great. The measurements for marking the flywheel are very helpful.
38ac: Every time I get a post from you I get a big grin inside my head. I have found TDC several times using the method you describe. They were gas engines using a piston stop through the spark plug hole. Looking at this Listeroid, using that method never crossed my mind. Using the exhaust valve for a piston stop is so clever.
The first thing I removed from this engine was the #2 flywheel, and then the cam cover on the #2 side. As I recall, it's been a while, that cover doesn't interfere with the cam going in and out. I should be able to install it before I put the #2 flywheel back on. Oh, using the opposite side flywheel for the timing is another clever idea I would not have thought of.
Lastly, besides thanks, I would like to order two gib keys right away. Please let me know how to do that.
