Default Re: Timing Issue

I'm thinking you could find the cam gear dimple with the timing pin, as normal, and then visually check the #1 piston for TDC by looking through the spark plug hole. If you need to turn the engine either way to bring the piston to the top then something is not right.

This might tell you how far off you are, if at all, and whether your current timing is retarded or advanced....
