Timing chain question...answer needed quickly!
Here we go. If this is a dumb question, just boot me in the ***. 
When the dot on the cam gear is at 6 o'clock and the dot on the crank gear is at 12 o'clock, is the #1 piston @ TDC on the intake stroke?
Like I said, stupid question. I'm not positive if my crank hub is oriented correctly, so I'm going to use the dot-to-dot method.
Thanks.

Nope, that's #6 TDC, but line it up that way and it will be fine.
#1 TDC is when both dots are at 12 o'clock.
