that you can remove the valve chamber covers and watch the valve stems and lifters? It"s those rectangles under the manifold. You can see when the valves are closed or open and when they are opening or closing. I always figure I can look at the lifters and maybe the distributor to determine where TDC must be.
New Holland sells cover gaskets for pennies. I think two cover gaskets cost me a total of 90-cents. You torque the covers to 10ft-lbs.
Also, you can idle that engine and put the tip of long screwdriver of the end of a stick or pipe on a spot on the engine to listen to each cylinder or valve to get you going. You put the other end of the stick to your ear and listen. It should sound like a sewing machine in there. You should hear and be able to get real close to any noisy problem so you know where to dig in.
You can put a wrench on the pulley nut to turn the engine but a fan blade usually works well enough. With a fan blade, sometimes you have to put pressure on the belt there between the pulleys so the belt won"t slip.

Thanks, been doing everything I can to keep from messing with the manifold but if I fool with the valve covers the manifold will come off.Too tigh a spot to clean the surfaces and such correctly looks like to me. So while it's off I can see all I need to for TDC..At this point I do plan to check with my mechanic buddy and if he'll do it for a few hundred, he's got the job..I'm ready for it to run right and I don't have a shop where I can tear it down and work on it. I'd have to do it outside..

Tom, you can leave the manifold in place, that"s not any problem. You"ll want to drop the governor to get to the gasket surface because those arms are too close. I believe you"ll want to remove the carb just for room to move, if I remember right. The manifold can stay, I know that.
Work outside huh? Sounds like me. I like the light.
Good luck with it.

Thanks, I will approach the valve cover gasket replacement w/o removing the manifold. Outside work is great if it will ever quit storming and raining(in MS)
