Re: Eliminate draft tube options

Whenever I needed to find tdc #1 I’d use my compression tester, hang it up high enough to see from the cab and bump it over with the key until it showed compression. Then moved the crank by hand to line up the marks or the bb in your case.

Re: Eliminate draft tube options

if you take out all the plugs it turns over easier, if you leave #1 plug in you will know when it is on compression stroke
