3. Rotate the crankshaft in the normal running
direction until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC of the

(Figure 5-77, (1)) will be facing toward the
exhaust side and the timing marks
(Figure 5-77, (2)) will meet.

4. Verify position by checking the camshaft timing
marks (Figure 5-77, (2)) on gears are aligned.
The single mark on intake camshaft gear must
fall between the two marks on the exhaust
camshaft gear. NOTICE: NEVER rotate the
crankshaft backward. If the crankshaft is turned
past TDC, rotate two more turns (720°) to bring
No. 1 piston back to TDC.
5. Secure crankshaft in TDC position with flywheel
holding tool OEM No. 11 5 180 (Figure 5-78).
