ok im starting to get a little confused with this thread..... i want to make sure the pump is in time... i really want to know more about this hole that i can lock the ip with somthing that goes in it. when the ip is locked with whatever it is that goes in the hole and the crank dampener is at 24 degrees would that mean that the pump is timed properly?

right now there is a mark sombody made by the underneath of the IP body to a mounting bolt hole toward the front of the motor as if they marked it for some reason. and the lines are right on with each other, i dunno if a previous owner checked it or timed it but i would like to make sure for myself.

but like i said first i want to see where the timing is at before i adjust anything, and it sounds to me (correct me if im wrong) that if i put somthing in the hole to lock it in place and check the crank dampner then thats where its set at rightnow.
