I made a bad mistake , when I checked the timing marks before removing the injector . It was getting dark and I just used a narrow wire brush to clean enough to see the two marks were lined up . When I got ready to reinstall the pump I cleaned the area off more and found there was a scale on the timing cover not just a single mark .There is a scale in 2 deg increments with zero in the center and 12 degrees above and below the zero . Now I don't know which mark it was on . I can tell fairly close by I can see marks where the flat washers on the mounting screws were against the injector slots . I could tell a lot closer if the washers had remained flat but they sort of sank down in the slot on the flanges. I believe I have it within 2 deg plus or minus.Where I have it is 2 deg below the zero. I didn't get everything bleed today . Is there any way to time that closer ? Will it start 2 deg off ? If so I might could move it a little to where it runs the best . But it might spin in the slots and mess up good to loosen the bolts will its running .
