I suppose 6302 hours isn't bad at all for a big air cooled generator, but it now means I have to swap in the new engine that we got because this generator was considered a lemon.

I do too if possible ,I find it stops a lot of headaches.
Such as someone being super happy with the pride but not happy that the labor is 3/4 of it etc
OK, the more I work on the Escape's 1.6 Ecoboost the more I come to believe that whoever designed the engine must have hated mechanics.
To properly find TDC (keyed crankshaft? what's that?) you have to insert a timing pin into the side of the engine and rotate it until the counterweight contacts the pin. OK, could be simpler- but not too bad, right? Sorry, did we neglect to mention that we're putting the hole you thread that timing pin into underneath (not, below... covered up by... ) the bracket that supports the RHS intermediate driveshaft bearing?
The Haynes manual says to pull the whole RHS driveshaft if you want to get to the timing pin hole. Thankfully I figured out that you can (with some maneuvering) remove just the bracket so you can get to the timing pin hole... but it definitely was a lot more work than it could have been!
