[QUOTE="Russell, post: 43612, member: 291"] Continuing saga, things still don't line up. I was hoping to post pics of timing marks, but apparently we can't do that. With what clearly appears to be a timing mark on the crank sprocket aligned with what clearly appears to be a pointer, no 1 piston is nearly at the bottom of its stroke. By removing all the plugs and using a stiff wire to follow the piston movement, top of stroke appears to be about 120 degrees after the timing marks alignment. I did not remove the crank sprocket in my teardown, and it appears to be properly in place--key-way, etc. Engine is a Mitsubishi gas, Bobcat SN is 509420518 I suppose I could just turn the crankshaft until no 1 is at the top of the stroke, line up the cam sprocket timing marks and install the distributor with the rotor pointing to no 1, and fire away, but that is not what the book describes, and I am not much inclined to work that way. Any suggestions ? [/QUOTE]
