Identifying TDC at the right time ensures proper engine operation, optimizes performance, and prevents potential engine damage. To establish TDC on the compression stroke, meticulous observation and the utilization of specific tools are essential. Firstly, ensure that the spark plugs are removed to eliminate any compression resistance.
