NOTE: The Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg will contact the crankshaft and prevent it from turning past TDC. However, the crankshaft can still be rotated in the counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft must remain at the TDC during CKP sensor installation.

NOTE: The engine front cover is removed from graphic for clarity.
