Sneaky RIV port check to hmmmm? IP timing Plus another ?

just want to clarify......

?? To get a baseline start point of IP. If one peers into the RIV port with a borescope... and turns the engine till the Bumper appears (that is what triggered the RIV light) you want that spot to match what on the Harmonic Balancer marks of BTDC (Before Top Dead Center) or ATDC???
(0, 14 or 15, 19, 24)????

?? If cant get timing mark suggested above and RIV bump to match does that means Rebuilder got off a tooth somewhere on their IP install..... or worse on Timing Chain..? (or I FUBARD badly by starting if first time with non diluted Start fluid ..... which was very VIOLENT imho and that caused something to jump chain or IP )

Happy 4th folk
