ok, that helps a ton.
thanks man.

i don't have that 'v-tail' or gunsight. i just have the northmost post on top.
so the marks will be on the passenger side of the crank pulley, eh?

the white one, or 0 degrees, should be away from the 3 together right? (12,14,16?)

i can't f'in see them guys.
so now onto the first part of my question, think i'll be ok 'eyeing it' ?
the head is off, i can see the piston reach TDC, but i was looking in the wrong spot for marks, i was looking in the middle of the pulley, are they just marked on? or is it actually a groove?

thanks so much for that fast reply!
