3. T| - TDC.

The TDC on number 3 means top dead center.

F might be the "firing" point of the stroke. Does it become before TDC on the flywheel?

All I find that crank trigger wheel has same mark - F, and when you align F| mark on the alternator - last tooth of the trigger wheel is 180deg before(or after) VR-sensor. But unable to find any info in manual.

Im sure I remeber reading thats the firing point at idle. Used with a strobe to check the ignition timing/advance.
