Split apart pulley lock so that it will clear the power top motor shroud and insert into teardrop shaped hole on pulley.





Reattach red handle.

If notch is pointing away from motor, according to my manual you are NOT at TDC.



Must undo pulley lock and rotate engine clockwise 360 deg.





Put tool back into the teardrop hole.

On 5 chain motor use the sort cam lock, mine I had to notch with dremel to clear engine flange.



Lock onto cam.

I am going to order one more cam lock for bank one.
