Tdc occurs once per rotor face on the front rotor correct? There is not a specific rotor face (1 of the 3) that is preferred correct?



What I'm asking is, every time the front rotor is at it's compression "peak" is considered tdc. ?



My brain is burnt.

k thanks. I just checked my rear rotor and found tdc, turns out my (aftermarket) main pulley's timing marks were described incorrectly. I was running 15 degrees retarted across the board.



Car is a lot peppier when the timing is correct.

You don't even really need to think about rotor faces.



You get one power pulse each 180 degrees of shaft rotation - just like a 4-banger.
