Finding Top Dead Center
I recently had to confirm TDC and recalled a similar method I saw on another site. I just went a step farther and used a cc vial with ATF for my fluid. Rocking the crank back and forth until you see the highest mark in the vial and you will be on TDC. This matched the pointer I had set up when building the engine ( dial indicator with head off). I was just confirming the mark after 3 years of running. It works!!!

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
