just rebuilt runs bad

So, when machine shop changed the timing cover,, did you change damper,, remark it,, or how did you compensate for the mark?

when finding #1 tdc with a positive stop, you rotated crank to the stop,, then reversed to the stop,, and split the difference, right??

The machine shop cut an new notch with white paint over it to line up with the new timing cover.

Yes, on using the stop steps above. Did this probably three times and will do it again on Friday. I have to admit that didn't actually measure, just eyeballed it. If not spot on it's very close.

Thanks.
