Yes the motor needs to be (& is) set to TDC compression stroke. I understand the lobes under tension needing gradual loosening. Just don't understand why the FSM instructions (pic) referring to the arrows as "light" & "dark" as they appear opposite i.e. instructions says 1, 5, & 6 are "dark arrows" when the accompanying photo shows them as light or no color fill.

I am standing at the ready to start removing the bearing caps.... Any thoughts?
