when number 1 piston is at TDC firing...numbe 1 on the cap needs to line up with the rotor...

set your damper to TDC take the cap off and see where the rotor is point....

moving the oil gear also known as the intermediate shaft does nothing for your timing...lining up the rotor and number 1 on the cap is the key.....

the rotor can point to Syria as long as its firing the #1 cylinder at tdc. all this rotor pointing to the #1 bolt hole really confuses a lot of people. that's way they left the factory but is not critical in any way to make the car run right
