On my 1941 216, it seems that most folks agree that the triangle on the flywheel points to TDC on #1 on compression. I know I can remove the valve cover and find the approximate TDC for all cylinders, but that will mean a new gasket likely. I was wondering if there is an easy way using a piece of paper on the crankshaft pulley divided into six equal spaces that could be used to show the TDC for the other cylinders? Since the body is off, I can see the pulley under the radiator. Doesn't a cylinder come up in compression TDC every 60 degrees of the circle?? Just wondering on a Saturday night when I should probably be sleeping. I should probably adjust the valves before the leakdown test anyway, so its probably a moot point. I am trying to find out why I am getting a bit of oil smoke that wasn't there when I parked it 8 years ago. It is the original engine, and I have driven it around my neighborhood for at least 10 to 12 miles and it still has a faint stream of blue smoke at 20 mph and more at idle. I would have thought that stuck rings would have loosened up by now. Ideas?
