Holy Toledo, this is wild.

Here:

This is absolute
1. remove the valve cover from the driver's side of the engine.
2. Rotate engine until the piston is at top with BOTH valves closed.
3. Mark timing indicator to balancer.
4. install positive stop device in spark plug hole and rotate backwards until it stops.
5. Mark Balancer only.
6. Rotate engine crank forwards until it stops. Mark balancer only at that point.
7. Measure distance from first mark to second mark. divide by two and measure to that point.
8. THAT IS TDC.
9. Make everything align with that.

Guys, read this over and make sure I screwed it up.

Thanks!
