on my crank there are 4 lines (3 near each other and 1 by itself) which one out of the four is the correct tdc to line up on the lower timing cover?

 

i just got word that it is the RED mark in the middle of the cluster of 3 lines, can anyone confirm?

 

WRONG, the middle one is for stock timing

The lone mark is the TDC mark

 

To be at TDC the cams must be pointed up and the pointer cover pointing at the white line on the crank, And make aure that the #1 piston is a TDC by removing the sparkplug and making sure its all the way at the top.

 

what is stock timing? how is that different than what i am setting?

 

?

 

Here is a site that has a good explanation about timing.
