There's 3 marks on the flywheel as you rotate it. 1st is 10 degrees BTDC. 2nd is TDC, 3rd is 10 degrees ATDC.

For Engine timing, ie time belt, use the 2nd, middle, mark.

For Ignition timing, ie distributor position, you need to use the 1st mark, ie 10 degrees before Top Dead Centre.

I think the Z1 mark is correct for TDC on the turbo. Might make a difference on year or side of the pond but my TDC is Z1.

+10, 0 and -10 are the timing marks on the Euro NA.

right what it is that the engine builder put the flywheel back on my turbo not knowing of the crank sensor so everything runs but i dont think its timed right because the car will try to fire but it wont stay running so i think the flywheel is on wrong so i need to know when the car piston one is at TDC and for the car to fire ,

meaning when u turn the car over to start it and the flywheel turns and the sensor has to pick up the mark on the flywheel for the first piston 1 to fire and so on what has to be in view when the car piston 1 is at TDC ready to fire is it the z1 mark or 10dergress before or after that mark

One mo' time -
Z1 is TDC for cyl 1. With that lined-up in the window, now look at the front of the engine...you should find a small notch on the crank pulley lining up with a pointer on the oil pump. These two (Z1 in the window and pulley notch at front) lining-up at the same time tell you that the flywheel is on correctly.
This is showing the crank pulley tdc mark and the oil pump pointer as viewed from above -


How're you doing with that quest for a Haynes manual?

There was a post a couple of weeks ago about Haynes manual on line. That might help till you find a copy that you can get all greasy.

hi the mark u are looking for i mean the window is as u are looking at the engine from the front towards the rear of the engine looking from above on the right hand side ull find the engine crank sensor which is at the top of the bell housing just in line under the cold start valve its a square window on the bell housing u will need a light source

if u need any help just contact again plus on this site there should be photo links showing the window as well
cheers scott
