ok going to redo this manually...
im going to remove the timing belt and spin the cam around and
put the belt back on manualy as Javad advised... so they are
ALL lined up...
i see to remember the TDC pin on the flywheel NOT being under
the sensor when the flywheel was at 0 degrees... im going to check...
if its not... well... it ran on the KH....
if somehow its not and cyl 1 is at TDC can i pretend the flywheel is at
0 there?
