Title: Quick Questions
Post by: egspot on February 22, 2006, 08:48:14 PM

My pulley has Three \"V\" marks. Every book I look has only two \"V\". Until I get a numbered pulley.

Are the \"V\" marks  \"0\", 5 degrees, and 7 degrees?

And as I look at it left of \"0\" is ATDC, and right of \"0\" is BTDC?

If in doubt you can feel down #1 plug hole with a small screwdriver and slowly rotate engine back and forth to figure out exactly where TDC is.
