Tdc
#1
Assuming the engine is sealed, and there is NO hub\damper marks, how can I tell that the front rotor is at TDC?
I know what TDC is on a rotary engine, but don't know how to tell without any hub\damper marks on a sealed engine

I think the key indexer on the front of the eccentric shaft sits at 9 o'clock (270 degrees), indicating TDC on the front rotor.. I think.

BDC is correct, the E-shaft key at the 9'o'clock position is TDC.

However on my ever quest to troubleshoot my current engine, the key @ 9 won't work if the rotor wasn't assemble properly. I won't dig into my current issues, but since this is my first rebuild engine, the front rotor might be a tooth or two offset.

I think having a rotor off a tooth is a old wifes myth, or I have been one lucky fool with the last 40 or so rebuilds. Rotors only go in one way. I suggests looking for a problem elsewhere.
