on the harmonic balancer there are 7 marks. Does anyone know what degree each mark stands for, when adjusting the timing. thanx

First mark u see is TDC (top dead centre), each mark after that represents five degrees in timing. so it goes tdc, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five. thirty. to get ur motor on tdc, u align the first mark with the little hump with the while line through it on the lower timing cover. Ollie

interesting, on the 5 litre each mark represents just 2 degrees!!!!

old thread here peoples, but i know the marks represent increments of 5 degrees, but do you start counting from the drivers or passengers side ?

from left to right.. just like a sophisticated algabraic equation. sorry to answer the question...drivers side if you are looking at the engine like you normally do.

yeah thats what i thought,it logical for it to be like that. just checking.thanks a bunch dude.
