Re: Dummy Timing Chain Install Question

It's a brand new (from china through kanter) timing set, i didn't see another mark on there at all. Plus, when i put it on in the exact position of the old one, it lined right up using that mark.

To be sure, i'll take the old one out and slide it over to see if it lines up in the same plate relative to the keyway on both gears

. (I did notice that with 1/8 TDC on the crank the keyway points at seemingly exactly 12 o clock. Good info for people troubleshooting other eights out there.

The balancer wouldn't be spinning relative to the crank sprocket, they would be moving together right? I'm assuming your concern is that the mark could be wore down?
