The crank indicator isn't the problem.

As said in my original post, the source of the inaccuracy is in how you align the timing notch on the sprocket cam thrust washer and the mark on the cam bearing tower.

re 123 economy...
I highly recommend returning your cam events to spec on the OM617 engine. The improvement in economy and performance is well worth the effort. The work I did to Marlene has made her a joy to drive in traffic. I'll be doing the same to SWMBOs 300D (260,000 miles) at the end of the next service interval.
