Thats good.
When i first put my timing belt back on, my blind dad "thought" he had found the marks, but didnt. I should have checked, but he was sure. To be honest, im not sure why he was even there lol.
The truck had a horrible miss and wouldnt run over 30 mph and wouldnt climb hills.
After i took it back off, he had it off 3 or 4 notches and thats how much of a difference it made. I set it correctly and it runs great now.
I have a feeling im gonna be replacing a few timing belts over the years. Its not bad, its just time consuming.
