Timming chain position?
What cylinder am I setting to TDC when I set the timming chain?
I don't have any markings of any kind on my crank sprocket. I've looked, and my girlfriend and friend looked, just to confirm I wasn't crazy.
The Woodruff key for the sprocket seems to point straight up when #1 is TDC, but I'm not going to make a assumption like that

That is correct. With #1 TDC and the timing marks lined up that simulates the piston would be ready to fire. Remember 4 stroke principles apply to all production engines: intake, compression, power stroke, and exhaust.

ANother Q...in regards to this thread...with cam dot at 6-o'clock and cranks at 12 (dot to dot) is #1 ready to fire, or do you have to spin the crank 360 and get both cam and crank at 12 O'clock to have #1 ready to fire?
