seem to be (4) hex caps/bolts of (4) different sizes on the body of the IP...is it one of those? top right? top left? bottom left? bottom right?
can you help me locate the sucker?
and then after i take off the cap, i just stick my finger in the hole and turn the motor over by hand til i see a 'slot' in my little mirror or feel a gap/slot with my finger/fingernail?

Look on the pump, just aft of the center flange (the division of the pump from the section with the delivery valves to the section with the governor).
Down at the bottom of the pump is a single bolt right in the middle of a flange with two bolts (one upper and one lower). That's the bolt to remove.
A few ounces of oil will run out...........don't be alarmed.
You'll need to use a pick or a mirror with a strong light and feel for, or see, the inverted notch. You want the notch right smack in the middle of the port window..............then read the crank damper and report back with what you get.
