now I made sure all the marks lined up before taking it off the sprockets, including the vibration dampner on the left sprocket(i marked a strait line down with a marker)....
now this is the problem, the chain went back on perfectly but on the left sprocket the vibration dampner and the sprocket did not line up as it did before. one thing to note is when I was tightening the other sprocket it did click a little and jump which I believe is what caused this misalignment.
so I thought when the timing chain lines up at the sprocket, it is at TDC in piston #1 but apparently it is "approximately" 60 degrees after TDC(according to haynes manual)
so my question is how do I determine when piston 1 is at 60 degrees after TDC and what do they mean "approximately" 60 degrees after TDC? that terminology sounds not so safe for a job like this...
thank you so much in advance.
