Re: Timing a 16v

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

If there is no mark shown on the flywheel (remember that you have 4 holes to 
deal with for the dizzy for max adjustment) then the flywheel is installed 
wrong and you will only be able to get the timing within a few degrees of 
reality by looking at the timing belt cover.
