Default Re: zero decking the block

This is because there is actually a dwell at TDC. You need to check for TDC at some distance before and after TDC....say .050 before and .050 after (coming back at it). Then split the difference and you'll really know where TDC is. Otherwise, you can any where from 3 to 8 degrees of dwell at TDC depending on tolerances, clearances, etc.
