i went in my cold garage today and I got it apart enuf to take some pictures of what it looks like ....

( i forgot to put that tming " tab " back on and so had to take it apart to put it on so we could check the timing

not sure if it helps but it was suggested itming marks compared to camshaft .... not once did the camshaft top out while crank pully was on 15 deg mark ( on either side of T i assume that's what T on the pulley means ... ... the part that confused me tho i was expecting just one set of marks .. but it was on either side of T so i took pictures on both side ...sadly niether lines up ... just fyi the sequence of the pics is as follows ..... the crank position then what the cam position on cyl 1 was .... the only time it was @ top was in middle of nowhere as u can see...... yet it ran ...

let me know what u think
the images can also be found @ this link on my work site
