This is not the same as having piston 1 at TDC. Then you should place the bright links of the chain on the marked teeth on the sprockets and push them home on the shafts. Rather than copying the whole section A21 I urge you to read it again. I think it’s the TDC thing that you mixed up.</div><div><br></div><div>Best, Per<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Skickat från min iPad</div><div><br>10 feb. 2018 kl. 23:42 skrev Patrick & Caroline Quinn <<a href="mailto:p_cquinn@tpg.com.au">p_cquinn@tpg.com.au</a>>:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
