I didnt mark the hub before I took it off so how exactly would I put the hub back on to make sure everything will line up as far as timing goes? Right now it is in #6 TDC. If I get it to #1 TDC, which way would the "aarow" on the crank hub instelf point? Thanks.

With #1 at TDC, the arrow should point straight up (12 o'clock)

That was the quickest reply ever, you are my hero. Thanks

The arrow is straight up with either #1 or #6 at TDC, so you're alright where you're at.

 

When doing a cam swap, the crank hub should point in the direction of the "Bainbridge lean" which will insure a straight run at the track this weekend. This might overcome friends who run spray to keep suprises to a minimum.

 

Is this important that it is on right....i mean i don't think that mine is on correct but runs fine.....not to steal your thread or anything

 

It is just used as a reference for 1 or 6 being at TDC.

 

It is ok to steal his thread. In fact, let's talk about the weather. Or the Red Sox vs Yankees. Or...banana peels.

 

Well now that I have the timing issue taken care of, I cant get the bolt back out of the crank. I dont want to musce it around to much because I really, REALLY dont want to break it off in there. Any ideas here?

EDIT---Got the bolt out and buying a new one.

And Bart, I live in Tallahassee. And given that I fix this little problem that I have brought upon myself, Im gonna have some fun come Sunday.

 

Oh then Tallahassee tilt it is. Sigh...guess I get to see tail lights again doggoneit.
