[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 32395, member: 64"] Phil, You can get your engine real close by removing the pushrod adjusters, removing the Large Idler, camshaft and breather and putting the crank at TDC. Next, replace the large idler with the straight line centered on the crank and 1/2 time pinion (you probably will have to find the correct slot for the keyway to align), now line up the "B"'s on the breather and slide it home, the slot edges should be equidistant from 12 and 3 o'clock on a vertical line through the crank, idler and breather. Next, point the indexing slot in the camshaft as close as you can to straight down and slide it home. Now, set the magneto (fully advanced) to release a piece of cellophane (cigarette wrapper is perfect) between the points at 15/32" before TDC .. 7/16" is OK, 1/2" will work too, but may ping/pink.. Button it all up and you should be good to go. Cheers, John [/QUOTE]
