Hi,

Took this pic when doing my valve adjustment. Timing marks lined up correctly, and I want to read the result. I dont quite understand what the result is. there is the center mark (the little cylinder rising from the harmonic balancer), then there is a 1|0 0|1 on either side. so how would I read it? Maybe Im just dumb and confused because the cylinder that site there. I think that isnt the actual 'center' point?

Thanks very much!

Looks to be about 1 degree, if that. Looks good for another 100k.

JHRZ2,

No stretch, about 1 degree elongation due to wear. Check again in about 25,000 miles.
