Hey, Cletis! How are things out in Parker County?

Everything is loosy-goosy on the rocker arms so I'm only looking at how much the pushrods stick up when the flywheel ball is at the pointer.

If that's the only info I have and if only #2 exhaust and #3 intake pushrods are fully up (those valves fully open) when all of the other pushrods are down at essentially the same level, I think it means you're at #1 TDC.

I just want to view a panorama of the pushrods while my chin is resting on the right fat fender and tell whether I'm at TDC (flywheel ball IS at the pointer). I believe that if #2 exhaust and #3 intake are up higher than the rest, you are indeed at TDC and not 180 out. Case closed!.??????
