Flywheel housing
(1) Timing hole
Remove plug (1) from the timing hole that is located in the flywheel housing. Install the assembled timing pin into the timing hole.Note: Plug (1) may be located in the same location on the opposite side of the flywheel housing on certain sales models.Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must be turned in the direction that is reverse of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel by approximately 30 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal rotation until the timing pin engages with the threaded hole. This procedure eliminates the backlash from the gears when the No. 1 piston is at the top center position.
Illustration 6 g02235474
Install tool (A) into the gear in the top left-hand side of the flywheel housing.Tool (A) is used for turning the flywheel in the flywheel housing. Turn the engine in the direction of engine rotation. The direction of engine rotation is counterclockwise, as the engine is viewed from the flywheel end. Turn the engine until the timing pin engages with the threaded hole in the flywheel.Note: Tooling (B) or (C) may also be used to turn the flywheel. Either of the three tools may be used depending on the application and available space.
Remove the valve mechanism cover from the engine.Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, KENR5159, "Valve Mechanism Cover - Remove and Install".
The inlet and exhaust valves for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed if No. 1 piston is on the compression stroke. Also, the rocker arms can be moved by hand when the piston is on the compression stroke. If the rocker arms cannot be moved and the valves are slightly open, the No. 1 piston is on the exhaust stroke.Note: When the actual stroke position is identified, and the other stroke position is needed, remove the timing bolt from the flywheel. Then turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of normal engine rotation and reinstall the timing bolt.
