Quick follow-up: Reading about harmonic balancers (sometimes refered to as dampeners) I first thought that mine was about to give up the ghost and the two metal parts had started slipping because the rubber between them was too old which could have possibly explained the offset timing mark.
But...
As a follow-up and perhaps to help other newbies like me, both of my camshaft pulleys had several white paint marks on them some of which seemed like they were put on at the factory. These are NOT the marks you want to allign... Use the marks which are indented on the sides of the pulleys...

Sincerely sorry that was a bad experience for you. I guess not everyone values the time and effort that goes into procuring such items...
I did try buying a set with one vendor in Adelaide through eBay but they wouldn't ship outside of Oz unfortunately. At least not for a single set.

Hi there,
I've had a small leak under the tank for the last month or so and finally decided to empty the tank, remove the straps and shield to have a look underneath. Overall the tank is in pretty good condition but in one area where mud/water has accumulated between the rubber pads and the...
