Dampner out of wack

This is the way I did it, [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg6eAWWvrPA"]finding top dead center . - YouTube[/ame] this sounds like the way that 67dart273 explains it and explained it in an earlier post, that is what I have been going off all day.

Anyway I went back, re-did the deal with the piston stop all the way down in the bore and again I came up with a slightly different TDC.........at this point I am going to assume I was wrong with saying in previous post it was not user error.

I believe that there is a bit of room for error cause I am using ball point pens.....eying it from a 2 foot distance ( one change of the neck make the line jump just a little if you get my meaning ).........and a folded piece of paper ( not the most scientific method!! )

At this point I am as sure as I can be that the dampener has shifted, not much but enough to where I am going to get it repaired per nm9s suggestion. Ill call damperdudes on Mon and get it sent out. Hopefully they can powdercoat it while apart.

Thanks each and everyone of you guys for your efforts, you all have helped me to understand things better I.E theres more than one way to skin a cat!
