Remove the cylinder head valve cover, pull recoil slowly(easier if you remove the spark plug) until you see the intake valve rocker arm go down and start to come up,then look at the cam sprocket and when the sprocket locating pin is straight up on the head this is TDC! Then you can check the valve clearance(.006 intake and exhaust) Engine must be cold to accurately check!! OPT
