from TDC to TDC is a symmetric operation. With the

This is the EXACT way I find TDC when building a engine. across the cyl
bore
and a stop bolt
I'm not a big fan of the piston stop. What happens if it is too long? Well,
you don't want to find out.
I'm also not getting the idea about TDC being between the top of the
combustion stroke and the top of the exhaust stroke. If that is what you're
saying, it's not true. Maybe I am

Oops, I forgot to mention that the engine is turned over
by hand with this method. You're right, using the
starter could result in something unpleasant! It's also
tough to make the crank turn backward, too... ;^)
Basically the method involves reversing the crank
rotation after the stop

I glad to see someone state the correct method of finding TDC. You must
rotate in both directions as stated. This is the true method
hand middle finger on Sunday. This
put a
week delay on completing the motor swap. Serious injury.

I glad
another way is to take out the number one spark plug, have someone hold there
finger over the hole and have someone else bump the engine to get #1 up at
the top of the compression stroke. I have done this on more than one
occasion and it works out great everytime.

ouch!! been there
sorry ta hear that Keith

Imagining that 12:00 is TDC, 1 revolution of the crank
from TDC to TDC is a symmetric operation. With the
piston at BDC (6:00) and the piston stop in place, the
piston will encounter the stop at the same height in the
bore (distance from TDC) whether the crank is turned CW
or CCW. For
