Hi,<br /><br />the timing marks aren't entirely clear on my engines. I've gathered from my Seloc manual that the timing should be 8 degrees BTDC but which mark is that! Looking at the front of the engine down towards the timing plate, there is a large V cut out (which is possibly TDC). To the left of this are three teeth and too the right are two teeth. Any clues would be greatly appreciated<br />Cheers Bob

each tooth tip indicates 2*. the ones going up, away from the direction of rotation are BTDC the big one is TDC.
