I think I figured it out. Someone please look this over
and let me know I did it right.
I found a previous posting talking about ways to set TDC, so I
rotated the crank to put the counterweight at 9 O’clock and at the same
time checked for air blowing out the #1 spark plug hole.
In another post I found a diagram that shows the TDC position on
the position sensor plate three teeth after the single flat spot.
You can see both ends of the crank in the two pictures. I
think it is correct.

Lynn,
Here is a piece of the picture from the book. Will the
position sensor work with the plate on either direction? I can put
the plate on as shown, or flip it around 180 degrees. But then the two
flat spots are on the opposite side. I don’t know if this plate
needs to be aligned with the rotors or something else so that the position
sensor works correctly.

Here is a picture of my current progress. Tomorrow I
hope to get more parts
added.
The question for today is about the Eccentric shaft position plate. I can
put it on two ways, 180 degrees out from each other. I assume the stamped
arrow goes out, but how do I know which way to put the plate on? Or does
it
even matter? The repair manual doesn't specify.

I am not familier with that term. What is it you need to
know?
