Z120 timing mark question

Hello,

I've searched this forum's archives and found references to inspection ports, peep holes etc. as timing mark locations on continental z120 engines, but I have not been able to find anything other than two lines that are cast on the engine timing cover at about 7 o'clock viewed from the front of the engine. There is a notch on the edge of the crankshaft pulley, but I can't tell if it is a timing mark or a dent. This is not the original z120 engine for my 1949 te-20 so I can't go by the tractor serial number for help in finding the timing marks. Is tdc where the notch on the pulley aligns just between the 2 lines on the timing cover? Any help is appreciated.

If the pulley is on right that is the mark. One mark is the advance and one is TDC. I Think.

My Z120 has the timing marks on the flywheel.
Has a hole on left side of block covered with a plug button.

Yes, they started putting the marks on the flywheel. You can't really see the marks on the timing gear cover very good. Guess they built a few tractors before they made the change. My te-20 has the marks on the cover.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to find TDC and see if the marks align. I know how to find TDC by taking off the valve cover and rotating number 1 cyl. until it is on the compression stroke and both valves are closed, but I was wanting to avoid removing the gas tank and doing all of that if I didn't need to.

Thanks Again, Don

Just pull the number one plug and shine a light in the hole. You can see the piston when it gets to TDC. When the piston is on top the rotor should line up with the number one plug.
