This question came up on a U.K. board I frequent and it made me go back to my manuals.
Haynes and others all say to put the crank keyway at "TDC" and the cam keyway at 1:00 to 2:00 o'clock position which will be approximately correct to fit the timing chain/pulleys back in positions with the pulleys in dot-to-dot alignment.
The question is... does the <span style="font-weight: bold">CRANK KEYWAY TDC </span>position have anything to do with piston TDC? I seem to remember that having the keyway straight up and down didn't correspond to #1 piston being at TDC. Am I remembering this right or wrong?
