the compression stroke and at TDC, the crankshaft balancer alignment mark (1) must align with the engine front cover tab (2) and the crankshaft
balancer alignment mark (4) must align with the engine front cover tab (3).
1. Rotate the crankshaft balancer clockwise until the alignment marks on the crankshaft balancer are aligned with the tabs on the engine front cover
and the number 1 piston is at TDC of the compression stroke.
