BJ73 timing mark (1 Viewer)

[JTarnow]

I've searched like crazy and not found anything useful. The timing mark on the crank pulley... The engine manual (RM132E) only talks about one mark on the pulley. There are three on mine. Two about 1cm apart, and another maybe 5cm away. Which of these is TDC?

Thanks for the help all. I'm trying to chase down power loss. I want to adjust the valves.

I'm trying to go off memory here. Isn't there 3 together, a space and then a single mark?

Not on mine, but who knows, there may be other configurations. Mine has just two together, and then one further away.

I had a similar problem, mine has two marks. I took out the glow plug and put a cable tie down and turned the crank and watched when the cable tie reached its peak, then marked the matching line with paint.

I might have to do this. Time to starts soaking the glow plugs in pb blaster.
