BTDC stands for "Before Top Dead Center," indicating the position of the crankshaft in relation to the piston at the top of its stroke. On a harmonic balancer, BTDC is usually marked with a timing indicator or notch. This mark helps in timing the ignition to ensure the engine runs smoothly. To find it, look for a line or notch on the balancer that aligns with a timing scale typically located on the engine block.
