I wasn't talking about what the timing cover was saying. I was just explaining, maybe for someone else who doesn't know ,that the camshaft is rotating at 1/2 crankshaft speed. 4 cycle engine. Fact.
The timing tape on the balancer also needs to be removed. The TDC needs to be verified with a degree wheel. The balance mark may be incorrect. Balancer ring slippage ? We aren't there. The camshaft mfg. should have given instructions with the cam on how to determine TDC in order to accurately degree the cam. Sounds like part of the story may be missing...
