(1) Put the No. 1 piston at the Top Center position (TC). Ensure the identification for the correct stroke. Refer to "Finding the Top Center
Compression Position for the No. 1 Cylinder". After adjustments for the correct cylinders, remove the timing pin. Operate the prelube
pump and turn the flywheel for 360 degrees in the direction of normal rotation. The rotation will put the No. 1 piston at the TC
position on the opposite stroke. Install the timing pin in the crankshaft and complete the adjustments for the cylinders that remain.
