    Mr. KA-39, Nice looking motor! Wish my fuel tank
    looked like yours. I found the timing marks you
    mention. Thanks for mentioning them. With the
    plug holes 90 degrees to the cylinder, I couldn’t
    use my TDC gauge and buzz box method anyway.
    Cylinder painted up a while ago, and made
    the gasket for it. The original was only .010
    thick. Best I could come up with was some
    heavy kraft / masking paper at .008 thick.
    My thinnest gasket material is .015.
    Will coat it with some grease and hope for the
    best. 😉
