OK, before anyone goes all red paint mark and white paint mark, this car is an '86 LXi, and has NO paint marks on the flywheel anywhere. Just has a line stamped on it. but more like this -----+-. No paint. Is this TDC for the bottom end? Here's a pic, i colored the line and pointer red for better visibility.
That line is the ONLY mark on my flywheel whatsoever.

Top Dead Center for setting the timing assuming no one has removed the flywheel and put it back on differently.

I thought there was only 1 way to put the flywheel on as to where it'd fit...Like a singular dowel on the FW or Crank. I Can't remember...

Both of the '89s that I've had the flywheel off had the off center dowel pin.Originally Posted by firefighterwhite89

My aftermarket replacement flywheel had no markings whatsoever. I had to make them by sighting from my old drive plate.

yes that would be TDC for the crank
Re: What is this only mark on my flywheel for?
So line the + mark with the pointer and cam gear "up" aligned with the valve cover studs?
I put on a new Fel Pro head gasket Wednesday and after lining up the marks and putting the timing belt and tensioner on.
I checked i did right by turning the Crank bolt and the motor seems to bind...Like valve-piston contact
After three tries...Here i am. lol.
Hell no i haven't attempted cranking it yet, if you're wondering. lol

the word up should be facing up, with the pointer lined up, and the marks on the cam gear will align with the edges of the headSo line the + mark with the pointer and cam gear "up" aligned with the valve cover studs?
