MilesFox Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 sounds like you are using the wrong mark. \use the ||| mark, not the 0 deg when lining up the crank itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yeah, you're using the wrong marks. Don't use the numbered TDC scale. Rotate the eninge clockwise another 90 degrees and you will see three lines Looks like this: l l l Use the center of those 3 lines as the mark.
