Abstract
A method is disclosed for positioning the crankshaft of an engine. The method comprises the steps of providing a first hole in the flywheel, providing a hole in a stationary part of the engine to line up accurately with the hole in the flywheel once during each crankshaft revolution, manually cranking the engine until the holes in the flywheel and the engine are aligned, and inserting a pin into the aligned holes to lock the crankshaft in a predetermined angular position.
