you are prolly looking at it at BDC instead of TDC.
you're either dead on or way off.
irregardless, you do seem like you're a few teeth off by the pic.
did the po remove the gear tower?
Well, the only line I see on the harmonic balancer is lined up with the mark on the tab, so I should be at TDC, right?
I just called the PO, and he replaced the injection pump, but said he did not remove the gear tower. He basically just unbolted one IP and bolted on another, so the timing gears would not have moved, right?
The whole story is: He bought the truck with a blown engine, replaced the engine with one from a salvage yard, he drove it about 80 miles, but it didn't run quite right, so he cleaned the injectors, then it wouldn't start, then he replaced the IP, still wouldn't start, then he gave up and bought a newer truck.
