Default Finding TDC for #6??
Hey folks, I'm trying to adjust my valves, and I've got everything adjusted with the #1 cylinder on TDC, but now I have to put #6 on TDC to adjust the rest of the valves. How can I find TDC compression stroke for #6? I figured I'd rotate the crank 90 degrees for each cylinder in the firing order until I got to #6, but that didn't work, or I screwed up somewhere. Any help is appreciated... Trying to get this thing put back together...

If you're at TDC compression #1, rotate the engine 360º (until the mark is again at 0º) and that will be TDC compression for #6.
