Install the fuel transfer pump on the cylinder block.
Clean the threads of the bolts or the studs and nuts.
Apply 4C-4030 Thread Lock Compound to the first three
threads of the bolts or Suds. Refer to Specifications,
"Fuel Transfer Pump" for the torque for tightening the
bolts or the nuts and studs.

Setting top center compression position.
(1) Temporary pointer
(2) Dial indicator
1.
Fasten a temporary pointer (1) to the cover of the timing
case. Put the tip of the pointer close to the outer edge
of the crankshaft pulley or the damper.
2.
Rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction when you
face the front of the engine. Rotate the crankshaft until
the pushrod for the inlet valve of the rear cylinder begins
to lift the rocker lever.
3.
Remove the rocker cover.
4.
Remove the spring clip and the spacer from the front of
the rocker shaft. Release the fasteners of the two front
pedestals of the rocker shaft. Remove the front rocker
lever. Tighten the fasteners of the pedestals on the
rocker shaft.
5.
Remove the valve springs from the front valve.
NOTE:
Place a suitable collar near the top of the valve in
order to hold the valve if the crankshaft is rotated
too far. Use care in rotating the crankshaft. The
number 1 inlet valve will be held in position on top
of the piston. If the crankshaft is not properly
positioned, the valve may fall from the cylinder
head.
6.
Allow the valve to be held by the top of the piston.
7.
Fasten a dial indicator (2) to the cylinder head. The
contact of the dial indicator must be in contact with the
top of the valve stem. The dial indicator must indicate a
reading which is greater than zero. Slowly rotate the
crankshaft in a clockwise direction until the clockwise
movement of the dial indicator pointer stops.
8.
Make a suitable temporary mark on the crankshaft
pulley or the damper in order to align the mark with the
temporary pointer. Continue to rotate the crankshaft in
a clockwise direction until the dial indicator pointer
barely begins to move in a counterclockwise direction.
Make another temporary mark on the pulley or the
damper in order to align the mark with the temporary
pointer. Mark the center point between the two marks
on the pulley or the damper. Remove the other two
marks.
9.
Rotate the crankshaft by approximately 45 degrees in a
counterclockwise direction when you face the engine
from the front. Then rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise
direction until the mark on the pulley or the damper is
aligned with the pointer. Number 1 piston is now at the
top center on the compression stroke.

The timing position that was set at the factory is used to set the
engine at the top center on the number 1 cylinder of the
compression stroke before the fuel injection pump is removed.
