Thanks for the email whunter!!

I am moving forward with my theory that somehow the timing pointer is bent. If I can imagine it bent back so the edge is square, that would put timing back very close to zero degrees, which is a huge relief. I think the little post on the balancer actually pushed that pointer back, like there wasn't enough clearance and it just grabbed it and bent it back. But to get an accurate timing mark, I need to either fix the bent peice or make my own mark. Knowing where TDC looks pretty involved from the FSM. So I am hoping that timing indicator can be replaced. It looks like it is just bolted on...can anyone confirm that? Or maybe I can just unbolt it and bend it back. (see pic)
