Model Aer's,
I took all your advice and used it tonight to find T.D.C.But the real trick was my Aviators's Penlight I had in my flight bag. This penlight puts out a small bright white beam.I shined the beam in sparkplug hole #1.The piston was VERY EASY to SEE and with handcracking no problem to position.Yes, I also placed my thumb over the sparkplug hole to feel the compression.The Aviator's Penlight #5152A is available thru Sporty's Pilot Shop call 1-800-LIFTOFF cost is $14.95 plus shipping.
Thanks Again to the Pro's
Tim Wildey
