The first step to degreeing the camshaft is to locate the crankshaft's exact position (referred to as crank or rotation angle) when the number 1 cylinder is at top dead center (TDC). There are many effective means to find TDC. The first step with the dial indicator is to align and square the indicator tip with the center of the piston. Next, the crank is rotated until the piston is at TDC, as best we can tell. When the indicator stops advancing you've hit TDC. Once you've found TDC, move the indicator dial so the maximum needle reading is set at zero. After setting the dial, turn the crank a few more times to double check your setting, and adjust as necessary.
