OK, this is really silly ... how do you get the piston to go to BDC?

hey all,

i'm just checking out the process of getting my engine back to BDC before i start my breakin. i've not started the engine once yet ...

i've got the glowplug off and am looking at the top of the piston. the flywheel just wont budge at all ... is this normal before the the engine has been started for the first time?

I am looking at the right thing aren't I part number 86271 in the savage 3.5 manual.

it wont move at all ...

cheers,

you should be able to turn it by hand...it will get really stiff/hard to turn when the piston reaches TDC...then just turn one half turn past that...you may only be able to turn it one way...

re bdc

Take plug out find bdc. Once you have it, mark the flywheel with a sharpie or perm marker then it will be easy to know where bdc is for the rest of your cycles :Xfingers:

the pull start wont let you turn it the wrong way.

thats why it wont turn, try the other way, pull the cord to see which way the engine spins.
