G'day again Mac,
I read these posts in the wrong order but you're on a few winners here aren't you?
TDC is in principle, easy to find, at least using my dear departed daddy's method and I used it for about 15 years on my TD42. PROVIDED you have a manual.
Put it in top gear, hang onto the bull bar and give it a pull forward. Keep bouncing it as hard as you can and belt tension will crank it slowly over until you reach TDC..May cost a rooted back or something but that's what real men do. I think.
Difficulty is in seeing the tiny mark on the wheel/pulley. It's beautifully placed by Mr. Nissan behind guards/covers/bullshit etc. but with a torch you'll get it. With luck. Once you have, slap some white paint or whiteout on it as I did on my first FC Holden recently. About '57.. Means it's easy to see for the rest of your life.
Got an auto? Dunno what but if I suggest the same, never having owned an auto, I'll happily stand corrected. As for the rest, sorry mate, I'm lost.
Good luck again,
Col

I never go into the outback with out a decent supply of water,
and the general rule for how much you'll need is three litres
per day , per person, per man per degree over 25 degrees
celcius, per kilometer if walking on foot, in the winter months
dividing it by two, plus... another litre... at the end .... Russell Coight

I always found the easiest way was to remove the Glow Plug from N#1
scrunch up a tissue, and plug that in the Glow Plug hole
wind over - by hand - the Crank or the Power Steering pulleys
when the tissue pops out, your at TDC

how did you end up doing it mate. Just wondering so we can see if you did it right or wrong.
What valve clearance did you set?
Are you sure you were on TDC on the compression stroke and not on the overlap?

G'day Firmboy,
can't remember when that applied to me last.....Oh well.
Seem to vaguely remember that when you had TDC you were either ready to set clearances on one set of 6 valves or the other. Not sure now but I think if they were supposed to be open but weren't, I just reset the other six.
Jeez, I hate computers and turbos. Those were the days,
regards,
Col.

The td valve sequence is different to the tb sequence. I hope your bit of paper says different to what you wrote here.
Td42 on #1 tdc- 1,2,4,5,8 and 9
#6 tdc- 3,6,7,10,11 and 12
