I couldn't see the red mark on my gear either. But there's a line on the tooth at least though.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks Tom for the info. Unfortunately, I can't even see the scribe line either with good light and a mirror.You have to know the #1 cyl is on compression stroke, TDC. (both valves loose, #6 valves at overlap) Then line up the timing pointer on the IP (under the cover with 4 bolts). Now turn the engine backwards 60° exactly. (my bad earlier, it is 60°) That puts the plunger at the bottom of it's stroke, and lines up the notch in the drive gear cover. All this assumes it was a running, propperly timed engine to begin with. Even if the tooth is no longer red and many are not, there is a fine scribe line in the center of the tooth. You need a mirror and a light to see it.

No that would not work at all, you would be out of time 180° at the HH. Now I am wondering if I remember how many teeth are on the HH, so 60° may be wrong. My brain is getting rusty, I'll look it up tomorrow to be sure.Thanks Tom for the info. Unfortunately, I can't even see the scribe line either with good light and a mirror.
How do you know you have moved the engine 60*? Would it work if I moved the engine ahead 300* so
I can use the starter to move it?
Thanks for your patience.
I can count the teeth on the one in the pic once I wake up later.No that would not work at all, you would be out of time 180° at the HH. Now I am wondering if I remember how many teeth are on the HH, so 60° may be wrong. My brain is getting rusty, I'll look it up tomorrow to be sure.
Fixed it for ya!orren, see post #104, it is now correct. Another way is that when you are positive you are at TDC of the compression stroke of #1 cyl and have the IP timing mark lined up, there should be a tooth lined up with the little cast pointer in the shutoff window. If this was a running engine, the next tooth to the rear would be the one with the scribed line. So now turn the engine backwards so that tooth is lined up. The easiest way to turn the engine is to put the trans in 5th and the transfer in neutral, and use a bar in the 'u' joint behind the trans.
Fixed it for ya!
