Welp, I guess I can spend this christmas under the hood for a few hours. Thanks for the tip mpolli. I guess I was 180 degrees off like you said because I set the TDC at zero, and I aligned the rotor. I will try to find the crank bolt and set the TDC manually. How do I know if I am on the compression stroke without taking off the valve covers ?

Also, what are the two U-shaped cutouts on the vibration damper for?
