Looked at bently but did not get an answer on this one.  Just put the
motor in over the weekend, gonna bolt the intake and exhaust this week
and hopefully will be able to crank this weekend.  Question; how do I
set the initial timing on this thing?  I need to know which way the
thing turns (though I guess I could crank it and watch, AND what
cylinder is #1, #2, #3 and #4 (eg port forward = #1), and is it "turn
till I get a puff of air at cylinder #1" and this is the firing stroke?
Also, understand there is some debate over advance to set.input here
appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance.

Philip
