OK so when the piston is at the top of the stroke ,that is where i put my mark on that will line up with the line on my balancer?Sorry about all the ??s
Sometimes the simple answers are hard to come by around here.
When you determine that the piston is at the top, your line on your balancer should be at the 0 mark on your timing case. If it's not, make a new mark on the balancer, I use a red paint marker, unless your motor is red, LOL. :toothy10:
See what your timing is at idle, and say, 3K, and get back to us please.
