Top dead center

Hello, Banzi sent a video of top dead center. How does this look based on my photos? It's hard to see but the mark on the pully is on 5.

drop the pump again and reinstall. use the red lines.make sure oil pump is full of oil when you put it in the final time..Use the RED line. notice top right of hole bottom is left of hole.

I assume the crank notch on pulley is on the Zero mark on sawtooth timing plate. Most people paint it white yellow or a brite color

 

looks like a reground cam. Hopefully you got the right lash pads ect set up. retainers ..............

I assume you did the ink pen wipe check to make sure centered

 The mark is on 5. I will drop the oil pump and get it to your picture.

Ok I think I might have it. As far as the notch on the pully pointing at 5, does that matter or does it have to be on zero?

Each tooth is 18⁰ Should be zero but for 5⁰ it's fine. New alignment looks much better.

yes thats it.

I like the new photo with the red line going thru cause depends where one stands looking at the spindal it can be a optical illusion sometimes,

Pro tip, there is a dot on the spindle and a dot on the oil pump. You line them up, then install with the body of the pump in the correct orientation. That's the tricky part, but less ambiguous due to the shape. If you do this, you'll have good success getting the spindle in the correct spot the first time.
