Align the two groove marks with the cylinder head plane respectively, and align the dot on the gear with the black chain link on the chain. Align the TDC mark on the crankshaft gear with the mark on the oil pump. There are chain links of different colors on the chain. First, rotate the crankshaft to the top dead center of the first cylinder piston. You will see marks when aligning the timing gears up and down. Rotate the first cylinder cam of the camshaft to the position where the valves are closed, then look ahead to find a round hole, and check the housing to locate the mark.

What is the use of neutral gear?

Coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral refers to the operation method where the driver places the gear lever in the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, separating the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and using the vehicle's inertia to move. Coasting in neutral must be done under conditions that ensure safety and normal vehicle technical conditions; coasting with the engine off is not allowed, especially when going down steep or long slopes. 2. Parking: The main function of neutral gear is for parking. After parking, it is essential to shift the gear into neutral and then engage the handbrake.
