Re: 164 timing



You can ignore the mark on the timing wheel and instead align the front
crank pulley notch with its marker, about 10 o'clock, while being certain
that the cam markers are pointing inward, toward each other, at about the 1
o'clock and 11 o'clock positions.  If you like confirm that the flywheel is
at the vertical line, it won't be on a small hole as misprinted in the shop
manual.

Mark this position of TDC precisely or you will need to remove the cam
covers  to confirm that the notches on the middle of the cams are aligned.
This method is more fool proof, yet is not necessary if you are extremely
careful in your marking and the cams are correctly aligned to begin with.
