TDC posistion for timing chain and cam. What cyclinder do you guys usually put at TDC when changing cams. 1 or 6. I know on reassembly you line up the dots to put it back in place I was just wondering which is best or if it even matters.

If when changing cams the dots are at 6 and 12 the pin will be at 3 o'clock, because that's when #6 is firing. One turn of the crank will put the cam gear dot at 12 o'clock and cam pin at 9.
Putting #1 in the firing position is helpfull to some when setting valves. Then they can go thru the firing order, 18436572. If you start at #6 you can go 65721843. Doesn't really matter as long as you have it straight in your head.

The Cam dot at 6:00 position will make #1 TDC.
