First set the pointer to zero on the big timing wheel by using the positive stop method. Checked it back and forth a few times to make sure it was correct, then checked again with a dial gauge. TDC is correct on the timing wheel.

The supplied timing pointer on the 2 piece timing cover does not line up with the mark on the damper even when adjusted fully to one side.
