ok now this isnt my first engine rebuild but it has been a while. i just cant seem to remember if there is anything specific i need to pay attention to when istalling my stator?? i think its top dead center?? do i need to wait to put the cylinder on before i install it or can i just do that with crank?? any tips will be great. i can also post pics if you guys need to see.

I would say it goes on one way unless you have a adjustable pick up. Put on anytime as the flywheel is keyed onto your crank for timing. The only reason to wait until you get the cylinder on is because the wires get in your way.

It doesn't matter where the piston is. The crank and flywheel are keyed together and the stator only bolts on one way.
