3. Hand tighten nut
4. Needle pointer
– Remove TDC gauge and install on PTO side.
– Bring PTO piston at Top Dead Center.
Interval between cylinders must be exactly 180°
therefore, needle pointer must indicate 180° on
degree wheel (360° -180°=180°).
Any other reading indicates a misaligned crank-
shaft.

Such misalignment may make it difficult to manu-
ally turn the crankshaft. Verification can be done
by measuring deflection each end of crankshaft.
If deflection is found greater than specified toler-
ance, this indicates worn bearing(s), bent and/or
misaligned crankshaft. Proceed with the disas-
sembly of the engine.
