And here's the bit for the tachometer senor...
To find the position for the tachometer sensor you need to rotate the crank clockwise by 20 degrees - this is measured with the DTI => 3.63mm downwards (according to the FSM). You then position the mount for the tachometer sensor so that the pin on the crankshaft weight is in the centre.





You don't have to do this with the head off - you can do this by resting the first valve at the front of the engine on the top of #1 piston.
