Install 9S-9082 Engine Turning Tool (5) in the housing.
Once plug (2) has been removed, insert the timing bolt (1) through the hole. Hold the timing bolt (1) against the flywheel.
Turn the flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation until the timing bolt engages with the threaded hole. The No. 1 piston is at the top center position on the engine.Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must be turned in the direction that is opposite of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel by approximately 30 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation until the timing bolt engages with the threaded hole. When the No. 1 piston is at the top center position, this procedure will remove the play from the gears.

Remove the left front valve cover. Look at the valves of No. 1 cylinder. The valves will be closed if the No. 1 piston is on the compression stroke. You can move rocker arms up and down with your hand. If the No. 1 piston is not on the compression stroke, perform the following steps.
Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel.
Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise by 360 degrees. Install the timing bolt.Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must be turned in the direction that is opposite of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel by approximately 30 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation until the timing bolt engages with the threaded hole. When the No. 1 piston is at the top center position, this procedure will remove the play from the gears.
