wow thanks 92b! Interesting. This all must be a compatibility issue for both design, manufacturing and usage the fact that they standardized the timing mark location on all the LA motors. Also therefore nothing magical about the 6 degree location.
Seems that way to me but truthfully I'm just guessing. You made reference to your balancer being off a long way. Do you think it could be the wrong balancer for the timing mark location you have or do you think it may have slipped?
