When finding TDC, I do understand marking on up and down and finding the midpoint, makes total sense. But how do you put the dial indicator on the piston top? (yes, I know it's in the FSM, but until I get my hands on one...)
Finally, where is the best place to get a FSM? I would like certainly like to invest in one.

I PMed where to get the Manual direct from Mercedes.
However, I do not recall reading in my FSM what to they recommend to do in the case of the Pointer not being correct. However, it may be in there.
I Just know that on other Enigines you can use a Dial Indicator to locate TDC.
In the case of Mercedes you would have to pull the #1 Pre-chameber to gain access to the top of the Piston. You would need a long indicator extenxion to get down there.
Like I said it would be easier to get a new or used un-bent pointer.
