Re: Timing gear marks don't line up.
The engine is NOT at TDC when those marks are lined up.The engine is at TDC when the timing pin drops into that hole,on the correct position of the crankshaft,You and when that happens that hole is nowhere near that crank gear.You have to make sure you are pressing the timing pin in on the correct position of the crank.You can press it in with the crank out of whack.Turn it over by hand,with your thumb on the # 1 spark plug hole,and when it comes up on compression you are on the right stroke.Then hold the pin in the hole until it drops in place.You can line that pin up two ways,but only one is right.
